Setup & Licence

From zero to licensed developer, compliant from day one.

Becoming a licensed UAE developer means a company, a RERA registration, an escrow account, a bank guarantee and a certified feasibility, each with its own authority and its own queue. DEVOS runs all of it as one file, with one point of contact. You sign, we file, and you are legally able to sell in as little as 45 days.

Check whether the assignment is feasible

Confirm providers, availability and required documents. An enquiry may not result in an offer.

Receive a written proposal

Identify the contracting entity, address and licence, deliverables, schedule, price, applicable taxes, payment and cancellation terms.

Accept and track delivery

Start only after written agreement on scope and terms. Define an owner, milestones, approvals and a complaints process.
