When to pick us, when to pick them

Honest recommendation.

Pick ArxSetup when —

  • The structure has cross-border tax or substance implications
  • You're forming an SPV, foundation, fund vehicle or holding-co
  • You want qualified counsel reviewing the engagement, not a sales consultant
  • You need coordinated UAE + Singapore / Australia / BVI / Cayman delivery
  • You need a VARA, FSRA or DFSA application managed

Pick Virtuzone when —

  • You want the cheapest free-zone licence with minimal advisory overlay
  • The matter is genuinely straightforward (single shareholder, single activity, low complexity)
  • You already have your own legal counsel and need a filing agent only
  • You're price-comparing on government-fee total without considering professional-quality differences
