A boutique private client structuring firm for high-net-worth individuals with complex cross-border needs. GCG does not manage client money. GCG optimises the legal and tax structure so the client deploys capital on the best terms.

Let’s move forward together.

01_what we do?

GCG structures corporate entities, tax positions, residency, and family wealth for clients across the UAE, DIFC, and ADGM. That covers company formation and banking, corporate tax registration and rate determination, family office and succession structures, and licensing for digital asset businesses, each handled by sequencing the decisions in the right order rather than fixing the structure after it's already in place.

Where We Operate

04_What we cover

Corporate services

Business setup, banking, residency, and digital asset structuring, sequenced around what the business actually needs, not around licence price. Start at Business Setup, or go straight to Company formation Dubai, Corporate banking for UAE companies, or Golden Visa UAE.

Tax & finance

Corporate tax registration and rate determination, mapped against the full group structure before anything is filed. Start at Tax & Finance, or go straight to UAE Tax Rates for the exact deadlines and thresholds, or Corporate finance advisory Dubai.

Private clients

Family office structures, succession planning, and private wealth vehicles for founders and families with cross-border holdings. Start at Family Office, or go straight to Succession or DIFC foundation.

Digital assets

Structuring across VARA, DFSA, and FSRA for virtual asset businesses, token issuers, and crypto-native wealth. Start at Digital asset structuring, or go straight to VARA license hub or Crypto license UAE.
