Business Consulting
Supporting Operations
in the Middle East and Africa
Biz Easy’s business consulting is not a service provided by a law firm for legal advice or dispute resolution.
It is a business consulting service that organizes regulatory, legal, and compliance matters
from the perspective of “practical operations and management decisions,” based on the premise of operating in the Middle East and Africa, to create conditions enabling companies to sustain stable business continuity.
In addition to one-off services like corporate establishment, we also provide ongoing advisory support through retainer agreements.
We emphasize building a “functional legal framework” that integrates with business strategy, internal controls, accounting, taxation, and HR—going beyond mere task execution.
Consult with us at any phase, from new market entry to reviewing existing operations and ensuring stable business management.
Why Business Consulting Matters
Biz Easy’s business consulting differs from legal advice provided by law firms nor jnor just a company set up agent.
It is a business consulting service that supports regulatory and legal matters from a practical and decision-making perspective, specifically tailored for operating businesses in the Middle East and Africa.
The Middle East and Africa present the following characteristics:
- Regulations that vary by corporate structure and license
- Strict KYC/compliance requirements enforced by banks and authorities
- System designs where HR, visas, contracts, and governance mutually influence each other
Mistakes in initial setup decisions or compliance deficiencies often lead to costly post-establishment corrections and business stagnation.
Therefore, it is crucial to design legal and compliance frameworks as integral parts of business operations from the earliest stages.
