About otai

Your operator in the Emirates.

We're a Ras Al Khaimah firm helping companies and individuals establish themselves in the UAE, and connect from here to Delaware, the US and the wider world.

otai exists to make one thing straightforward: landing in the United Arab Emirates. We're based in the Northern Emirates, in Ras Al Khaimah, with work across Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. It's a part of the country that firms focused on Dubai tend to skip over.

There's a story behind the name, and behind how a firm that began in New York ended up here. You can read it here.

We help businesses and individuals set up, move, and settle. In practice that's three things that usually arrive together: getting established with the right licence and structure, moving goods through international freight corridors, and finding the right premises or place to live. Because those needs tend to land at once, we run them as one, so you have a single point of contact rather than a handful of providers working in isolation.

Where we work

We're anchored in Ras Al Khaimah and connected across the UAE, with a base in Delaware in the United States and the reach to coordinate globally. That two-market footprint, UAE and US, sits behind much of what we do, from trade corridors to the companies we help set up.

How we approach it

We work advisory first. We start by understanding what you're planning, then point you the right way, and that includes saying so when something isn't the right fit yet. We would rather set the right expectation than promise an outcome we can't guarantee.

Where specialist licences come into it, property brokerage being the obvious one, we work alongside licensed partners instead of overstating what we do ourselves. It's a smaller set of claims, but they're ones we can stand behind.

The short version

We help you set up, move, and settle, from Ras Al Khaimah to the world. Tell us what you're planning and we'll point you the right way.
