Solutions
Each app automates the routine work — reading documents, checking rules, screening, tracking deadlines — and leaves the decisions to you. We're taking more of it to full automation with every release.
We're choosing between a free zone and a mainland licence
We need to know our licence, VAT and Corporate Tax deadlines
We're a DNFBP: real estate, precious metals, corporate services or audit
We're licensed by the DFSA, FSRA, VARA or the Central Bank
Our board minutes need to cover what the regulator expects
We take on clients and need KYC and CDD on record
We keep clients' books and prepare their VAT returns
We run compliance for several client companies
We need to screen a name against sanctions and PEP lists
We need to read a UAE law or regulator rulebook

Running your company
Every UAE company has licences, tax filings and, often, AML duties to keep up with, and a board that has to run properly. These apps keep both on track.
Your compliance manager
Works out what applies to your company from its licence and activities, tracks every obligation and deadline, and keeps the evidence and reports — for owners, compliance managers and MLROs.
For: UAE companies, from trading firms to licensed financial firms and DNFBPs
Governance and board compliance
Policies, board agendas, minutes, quorum, committees and statutory records — with resolutions signed electronically.
For: Company secretaries and boards
What applies to you
Works out which UAE authorities and obligations apply from jurisdiction, activities and structure. Built into Comply.
For: Compliance teams scoping an entity
Serving clients
Accounting, corporate services and compliance firms do the same work for every client. Each of these apps handles one part of it across your whole client list.
