Why choose us

The LorcaBase advantage.

01

Boutique firm

Small team, direct partner contact. Your case never gets handed off to a junior or routed through a call center — your point of contact stays the same throughout the engagement.

02

Cross-border tax expertise

Tax residency, the 183-day rule, non-residency certificates and the Spain–UAE double-taxation treaty. The technical territory where generalist firms typically fall short.

03

VAT & Corporate Tax ready

Operating with local VAT (since 2018) and the 9% Corporate Tax introduced in 2023. Prepared for the mandatory e-invoicing regime rolling out in 2026.

04

Direct access to 10 partners

IFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ, Meydan, SPC, DAO, DWTC, RAK ICC, AMER and Emirates NBD. Direct relationships with regulators and corporate banks — no intermediaries.

05

Bilingual by design

Every document, meeting and deliverable in your language — English or Spanish — with no rough translations on operations that move serious capital. A clear cultural bridge between Europe, Latin America and the UAE.

06

High-net-worth profiles

Digital entrepreneurs, international investors, expats and HNWI families. Estates, holdings, real estate investment and family structures. Cases where precision matters.

Marina R. L. — Founder of LorcaBase
About the firm

There has always been the same gap in the Emirati market: local firms that didn't speak Spanish, or Hispanic consultancies operating remotely without a real office in the UAE. LorcaBase was founded to close that gap from the inside.

Today the firm operates from Marina Plaza, Level 27, serving entrepreneurs, SMEs and private wealth across English- and Spanish-speaking markets. Each engagement is led directly by a partner — never delegated to a junior or call center — and coordinated on dual CET / GST hours to keep clients in Europe, Latin America and the Americas in sync with local regulators and counterparts.
