I had the pleasure of working with Khyati from KWS Middle East during the process of setting up our company structure and preparing for the next stages of expanding into the UAE.

Her approach was highly professional from start to finish. She dedicated significant time to understanding our business model, explaining each step of the procedure clearly, and ensuring we were fully prepared for every stage of the registration process. Communication was precise, structured, and always proactive.

What truly stood out was the level of support beyond the basic setup — including guidance and preparation for the subsequent phases of opening and operating a branch in the Emirates. This gave us clarity, confidence, and strategic direction moving forward.

I strongly recommend Khyati and KWS Middle East to anyone seeking reliable, transparent, and well-organized support for company formation in the UAE.

We would like to sincerely thank Mr. Muhammad Hasan for his outstanding support in setting up Zam Zam Suyi Restaurant in Dubai. From the very beginning, he handled everything with complete professionalism and clarity.

He supported us end-to-end — trade license, approvals, location selection, restaurant space finalization, fit-out coordination, and all legal and regulatory work. Setting up a fully fledged restaurant in Dubai is not easy, but Mr. Hasan made the entire process smooth, structured, and stress-free.

What we truly appreciated was his deep knowledge of local regulations, proactive approach, and constant follow-up until everything was completed properly. He always gave honest advice and ensured there were no delays or hidden issues.

Highly recommended for anyone planning to set up a restaurant or any business in Dubai. A reliable consultant who genuinely takes care of his clients.

I am extremely happy with Khyati. She supported me from the very beginning right through to the end, always with professionalism, dedication, and no hesitation. She was consistently available whenever I needed her, even on her days off. I truly can’t thank her enough for all the help she provided with my startup company and throughout the entire process. She is truly amazing. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again without a doubt for any future needs.
