Our story
Built by people who made the move themselves.
Founded with South African roots and a Dubai-forward vision, AEG was created to remove the friction African founders face when expanding into the United Arab Emirates. We had lived the paperwork, the banking hurdles, and the uncertainty — and knew it could be done better.
Today, from our offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, we guide founders from Lagos to Nairobi through a fully managed setup — pairing local understanding with on-the-ground UAE expertise, and treating every client like our only client.
What guides us
Principles we don't compromise on.
White-glove, always
One dedicated advisor from first call to final licence — and every renewal thereafter. You are never a ticket number.
A bridge, not a broker
South African roots and a UAE base mean we understand both sides of the journey — and structure your company for where you are going.
Total transparency
Fixed, itemised pricing and clear timelines, quoted upfront. No hidden fees, no surprises — ever.
