A few words about us...
SFM was founded in Geneva and Dubai in 2006 as a Corporate and Trust service provider, offering incorporation services across 25+ different jurisdictions. Over the years, we have expanded and opened offices in the Seychelles and Hong Kong.
Seeing what a diverse and growing landscape the United Arab Emirates offers to businesses, SFM made the jurisdiction available to its clients. Since then, SFM has helped thousands of clients form free zone and mainland UAE companies.
Our mission is to help entrepreneurs across the world prosper by facilitating the creation of robust corporate structures in the growing region of the UAE. We continue to utilize technology to provide an efficient and outstanding service to all our clients.
While the core of our service remains company formation, we offer a multitude of ancillary services such as visa assistance, bank account opening, accounting & auditing and the provision of professional company officers. Backed by our regulated licenses and extensive experience in financial services, SFM experts have successfully assisted thousands of entrepreneurs to incorporate companies to expand their existing businesses or start new ventures in the United Arab Emirates.

Confidentiality & data protection |
Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of our work. We protect the privacy of our customer and secure personal data through five key components:
- Website security: the data entered by our customers on our websites is encrypted using SSL 128 bit certificate encryption.
- Our IT infrastructure at our offices is secured at the highest level (in line with bank standards), in order to prevent any intrusion.
- Technical controls are imposed to prevent the printing or exporting of our customer database.
- SFM uses end-to-end encryption of corporate email by digitally signing messages with email certificates so that senders and recipients of email can verify that the content they are sharing is legitimate and trusted
- While confidentiality is paramount, complying with the law is above all. SFM will be bound to comply with any legal obligation, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process to obtain clients identities. Such occurrence is however very rare as SFM conducts strict due diligence requirements on every client and takes every possible precautions to identify cases of abuses.
