I was particularly well received by Christelle, the Managing Partner of the Dubai branch. SFM demonstrated great agility in their quotation process, which was crucial as I was leading a nascent structure in Dubai. The support provided during the administrative procedures for establishing my company in the UAE, along with the responsiveness of the service—especially from one of their team members, Oksana—truly reassured me and gave me confidence during a stressful period of establishing a professional presence abroad. I highly recommend SFM to any professional looking to set up in the UAE or even just to benefit from their advice.
