Common Application Traps We Help You Avoid

Filling out the application form seems simple, but one wrong checkmark can trigger a manual investigation that puts your business on hold for weeks.

1The "Do-Everything" Trade License

Founders often add multiple business activities to their license, thinking it provides flexibility. This is a major red flag for banks.

The trap: An "IT Consulting" license that also includes "General Trading" creates suspicion and requires extra documentation you may not have. We ensure your declared activities are concise and perfectly aligned.

2The "Source of Funds" Catch-22

Banks ask for existing client contracts to prove your source of funds. But how can you have contracts without a bank account to transact?

Our solution: We know exactly how to prepare your financial projections and business plan to satisfy requirements, even without existing contracts.

3Unseen "Owner Risk"

The bank isn't just assessing your company; it's assessing you. Your passport, residency status, and lack of track record can raise silent red flags.

Our approach: We position your personal profile in the best possible light, highlighting strengths and mitigating perceived risks before they become issues.

Not All Banks Are the Same

Many founders approach banks directly, only to discover minimum deposits of AED 1M+ just to open an account. This usually means their onboarding process is highly manual and they're not interested in SMBs.

UAE banks have different risk appetites and target markets. Some focus on large corporations, while others actively court growing SMBs and entrepreneurs. The key is knowing which banks welcome your profile.

Pro tip: The banks that are easiest to work with often provide better service for growing businesses. You get direct access to decision-makers rather than being lost in corporate bureaucracy.
