What is Settl?
Settl is a Dubai-based relocation and lifestyle advisory company that does two things. First, we guide you through every practical step of moving to Dubai: finding your home, setting up your company, opening a bank account, sorting your visa, arranging your insurance, registering your car, finding schools for your children and more. Second, once you are settled, you can retain monthly access to the Settl team as your fractional personal assistant and private concierge.
Who is Settl for?
Settl works with two main groups of people, and often both at the same time. High-net-worth individuals and families moving to Dubai who need property, schools, medical setup, residency documentation and a trusted network of local contacts they can rely on. Many of our clients are a founder or business owner moving with their family, needing everything handled on both sides simultaneously. This is exactly what Settl is built for.
What makes Settl different?
Most relocation companies in Dubai do one or two things — typically visa and company formation, or property. They then refer you to other companies for everything else. The result is multiple vendors, no one with oversight of the full picture, and real risk of things falling through the gaps. Settl is different in three ways. We cover everything under one roof — ten services during the setup phase, all managed by a single dedicated advisor who knows your full situation. We work with trusted partners we have vetted and established relationships with, which means better service, better prices, and no nasty surprises. We stay with you after the move through our monthly retainer — as your fractional personal assistant and concierge for life in Dubai. That ongoing relationship is something no other relocation company offers.
How long does the setup take?
For a founder relocating with their family using the full Settl service, most clients are fully operational - company registered, accounts open, property secured, schools confirmed, cars and insurance in place within six to ten weeks of first engagement. Some of the work can begin before you arrive in the UAE. Company formation, document preparation, school applications and property shortlisting can all be started remotely, which means your timeline from arrival to fully settled is significantly shorter. Your Settl advisor will give you a clear week-by-week roadmap at the start of the engagement so you know exactly what to expect.
How do I get started?
The first step is a discovery call - a free, no-obligation 30-minute conversation with your dedicated Settl advisor. We will cover your situation, your timeline, your goals and which services are relevant to your move.
