Close more mainland and free zone setups, and catch every licence renewal

HelloGrowthCRM keeps every enquiry, quote and renewal date in one place, with a two-way WhatsApp inbox, a built-in dialer and reminder sequences that run on their own.

Quick answer

Does HelloGrowthCRM file trade licences or connect to DED and free zone portals?

No. HelloGrowthCRM is a sales and follow-up CRM, not a government filing tool. It has no connection to DED, IFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ, SHAMS or any other authority portal, and it cannot submit or renew a licence for you. Your team keeps doing that work in the portals and at the typing centres they already use. What the CRM holds is the commercial side: the enquiry, the quote, the client record and the reminder that a renewal is coming.

Industry Use Cases

Comparing mainland and free zone packages for inbound founders

Chasing setup proposals that went quiet after the first quote

Reminding clients before trade licence and card renewals fall due

Upselling corporate tax registration and PRO retainers to existing clients

Routing WhatsApp enquiries to the right consultant automatically

Tracking which ad channels produce paying company formations

Why this page exists

Company formation in the UAE is a fast, crowded market. An enquiry lands on WhatsApp at eleven at night asking whether a mainland DED licence or an IFZA package is cheaper. Someone answers from their phone, sends a rough quote the next morning, then loses the thread. Meanwhile a client you set up two years ago lets their trade licence lapse because nobody reminded them. HelloGrowthCRM is built for that pattern. Every enquiry from your website, phone lines and messaging channels lands in one pipeline. Quotes go out from a proposal builder instead of a chat thread. Renewal sequences fire ahead of licence, establishment card and immigration card dates you record, so the repeat revenue you already earned does not walk to a competitor. Setup takes about fifteen minutes and the free forever plan lets you test it before you commit.

Be clear about what this is. HelloGrowthCRM is a sales and follow-up CRM. It does not file trade licences, it does not connect to DED, IFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ, SHAMS or any free zone portal, and it will not submit anything to a government system on your behalf. Your PROs and typing centres still do that work in the portals they already use. It is also not accounting software. It will not calculate your VAT return, register you for corporate tax, or file with the Federal Tax Authority. It raises quotes and invoices for your own service fees; your accountant keeps the books. What it does is hold the commercial side. Who enquired, what you quoted, who has gone quiet, which licences renew next quarter, and which consultant is meant to be calling them. That is usually where the money leaks.

Why teams evaluating CRM for business setup consultants UAE want a simpler system

Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp late at night and at weekends. Whoever is awake replies from a personal phone, so the conversation never reaches the pipeline and nobody follows up.

Prospects ask you to compare a mainland DED licence against IFZA, RAKEZ or SHAMS. You send options, they go quiet, and the quote is never chased again.

Trade licences, establishment cards and immigration cards renew on their own cycles. Without a reminder system the client only hears from you after the deadline has already passed.

Consultants keep prospects in personal notebooks and phone contacts. When someone leaves the company the pipeline leaves with them and the handover is guesswork.

Existing clients need corporate tax registration, VAT registration, bank account help and visa quotas, but nobody maps which service each client has not yet bought.

You spend on Google and Meta ads but cannot say which campaign produced paying setups, so budget keeps going to whichever channel shouts loudest in the meeting.

WhatsApp integration

WhatsApp is where UAE business setup actually happens

Most founders will not fill in a long form. They message you. HelloGrowthCRM gives your team one shared WhatsApp inbox instead of five personal phones, so every conversation sits against a contact record with the quote, the licence type and the next action. Replies can be assigned, templated and picked up by a colleague when the original consultant is at a typing centre or on leave. Call activity from the built-in dialer, including recordings and AI summaries, sits on the same timeline, so a manager can see the whole story of an enquiry without asking anyone to write a report.

Built for SMS and email follow-up

How it works

Bring every enquiry into one pipeline

Connect your website forms, phone numbers and WhatsApp so enquiries stop living in personal inboxes. Each record shows the enquiry source, the licence type discussed and the consultant who owns it.

Set stages that match how you sell

Build a pipeline around the way setups really progress: enquiry, qualification, package comparison, proposal sent, documents collected, licence issued. Everyone can see where a deal is stuck without opening a spreadsheet.

Automate the chasing you keep forgetting

Switch on email and SMS sequences for quotes that have gone quiet. Add renewal reminders against licence and card dates you record, so clients hear from you well before anything expires.

Review what actually brings in setups

Reporting dashboards show enquiry volume by source, conversion by consultant and revenue by service line. Use that to decide where the next marketing dirham goes rather than guessing in the weekly meeting.

Pricing

Pricing for UAE business setup firms

HelloGrowthCRM is AED 48 per user per month, about US$12, or US$10 per user per month on annual billing. There is a free forever plan, so a two-person consultancy can run its pipeline without paying anything. Setup takes about fifteen minutes. If you would rather someone else build the pipeline, sequences and reporting for you, the optional managed RevOps service, Growth Engine, does that work alongside your team.

Frequently asked questions

No, and you should not use it for that. HelloGrowthCRM is not accounting or tax software. It does not calculate VAT at five per cent, prepare a corporate tax return under the nine per cent regime, or file anything with the Federal Tax Authority. It does raise quotes and invoices in AED for your own consultancy fees, and it can remind you when a client's tax or accounting service is due for renewal. The filing itself stays with your accounting team or your tax agent.

You record the dates that matter on the client record, such as the trade licence expiry, establishment card or immigration card. HelloGrowthCRM then runs a reminder sequence ahead of each date: an internal task for the consultant, plus email, SMS or WhatsApp messages to the client if you want them. The CRM does not read anything from a government portal, so the dates are only as accurate as what your team enters. Most firms load them during onboarding and update at each renewal.

Yes. Most consultancies sell both, and the sales process differs. You can set custom fields for jurisdiction, activity type, visa quota and shareholder structure, then filter the pipeline by any of them. Package comparisons for a mainland DED licence and for free zones such as IFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ or SHAMS can be saved as reusable proposal templates, so a consultant is not rebuilding the same document every week. Reporting then shows which jurisdiction converts best for you.

Yes. HelloGrowthCRM supports multi-language content, including Arabic pages, which matters when part of your enquiry flow comes from Arabic-speaking founders and part from English-speaking expatriates. You can keep templates for quotes, follow-up emails and WhatsApp replies in both languages and pick the right one per contact. Your team can work in the interface language they prefer. This is a content and communication feature, not a legal translation service, so documents intended for authority submission should still go through a proper legal translator.

HelloGrowthCRM is AED 48 per user per month, which is about twelve US dollars, or ten US dollars per user per month if you pay annually. There is also a free forever plan, which is usually enough for a small consultancy that wants to move its pipeline off spreadsheets before committing budget. Setup takes about fifteen minutes. If you want the pipeline, sequences and dashboards configured for you, the optional managed RevOps service, Growth Engine, is available separately.

Yes. HelloGrowthCRM offers native connectors, Zapier and an API, which covers most of what a setup consultancy needs: website forms, ad lead forms, calendar tools and accounting packages. Where a native connector does not exist, Zapier usually bridges the gap, and the API is there for anything custom. What it will not do is integrate with government systems. There is no supported link to DED, free zone portals, GDRFA, MOHRE or ICP, and none is planned as part of the CRM.

Initial setup takes about fifteen minutes: create the account, invite users, connect your forms and WhatsApp number, and build your stages. Getting real value takes a little longer, because you need to load existing clients and their renewal dates. Most firms start with the live pipeline, add renewal data for current clients over the following weeks, then switch on automated sequences once the data is clean. Mobile apps for iOS and Android mean consultants can update records between meetings.

Put every enquiry and renewal in one place

Start on the free forever plan, connect your WhatsApp number and website form, and load your renewal dates. Setup takes about fifteen minutes. If you would rather have it built for you, ask about Growth Engine, the optional managed RevOps service.
