I had such a smooth and stress-free experience with KWS for my work. From day one, Mr Abdullah was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything in simple terms, guided me step by step, and always took the time to answer my questions without rushing me.

I also want to mention Mr Ali, his assistant, who was super responsive and always on top of the paperwork and follow-ups. Both Abdullah and Ali really went out of their way to make sure everything was handled properly.

What I appreciated the most was their honesty and the personal attention they gave me, it honestly felt like they genuinely cared about helping, not just “getting the job done.” Thanks to them, the whole process was completed smoothly and right on time.

I’d happily recommend Abdullah and his team to anyone who wants reliable, trustworthy, and hassle-free services. They truly deserve more than 5 stars!

I recently opened my Investment Holding Company in the UAE with Hasan from KWS Middle East, and I must say the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

Due to an unfortunate mistake, I entered the UAE using my old passport, which could have turned into a very complicated situation. Hasan personally stepped in, went above and beyond—he took me to the airport, resolved the issue, arranged a VIP medical, and even dropped me home. Thanks to his dedication and hands-on support, everything was sorted smoothly.

Within just 18 days, I had my Trade License and Emirates ID in hand. I couldn’t be happier with Hasan’s commitment and professionalism. Truly grateful for his support, highly recommended for anyone planning to set up a business in the UAE.
