When a small or medium‑sized enterprise
(SME) enters the UAE market, it often comes face‑to‑face with complex
government paperwork. Entrepreneurs are busy building their brand and finding
customers, which leaves little time for visa applications, labour contracts and
other legal procedures. Public Relations Officer (PRO) services simplify these
tasks by acting as a bridge between your company and government entities.
Why SMEs Need PRO
Services
•
Time‑saving support. PRO firms handle visa applications, labour card processing and
other paperwork, freeing you to focus on core business operations.
•
Expert knowledge of
regulations. The UAE’s labour and immigration laws
change regularly. Dedicated PRO service providers stay up‑to‑date and ensure
compliance.
•
Cost efficiency. Outsourcing visa and licence work can be more affordable than
hiring full‑time staff, especially for a small team.
•
Reduced risk of penalties. Missing a trade‑licence renewal or failing to submit a labour
contract correctly can lead to fines. PRO specialists help businesses avoid
such pitfalls.
•
Convenience. From visa applications and Emirates ID cards to trade‑licence
renewals, PRO services provide a hassle‑free solution for SMEs.
The Fimkin Advantage for
SMEs
Fimkin’s Basic
Package is designed specifically for companies with up to 50 employees.
The plan covers immigration and labour‑department processes, including medical
and biometric pick‑up and drop‑off for employees. A dedicated Fimkin PRO
handles all typing and follow‑ups with government departments.
What makes
Fimkin different is its digital‑first platform. Businesses can submit
applications, track documents and receive updates from any device. Payments are
seamless with online options like Stripe, Tabby and Tamara. Because the portal
centralises services from multiple government departments, companies no longer
need to visit different offices or websites. Real‑time notifications help
managers monitor visa expiry dates and stay compliant.
Recently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
What does a PRO do for small businesses?
A PRO handles government‑related tasks such as visa applications,
Emirates ID registration, labour‑contract typing and document attestation.
Outsourcing these tasks frees entrepreneurs from bureaucracy.
Is a trade licence necessary for every SME?
Yes. A trade licence issued by the Department of Economic Development is
mandatory for conducting business in Dubai. PRO services help obtain and renew
licences quickly.
How does Fimkin help monitor employee visas?
Through Fimkin’s dashboard, managers can view each employee’s visa status and
expiry date. Automatic reminders ensure renewals are processed on time.
Why choose a subscription plan instead of paying per transaction?
A subscription locks in lower monthly rates and offers priority support.
Fimkin’s annual subscription for up to 50 employees costs just
999 AED/month and includes full PRO support.
Final Thoughts
For SMEs, every minute and
dirham counts. By outsourcing routine government interactions to Fimkin’s PRO
specialists, small teams can operate efficiently and stay compliant with local
laws. With transparent pricing, online payment options and real‑time updates,
Fimkin simplifies bureaucracy so you can focus on growing your business.
Blog 2: PRO Services for Companies with More Than 50
Employees
Growing beyond 50 employees signals
that your business is scaling, but it also introduces heavier regulatory
demands. Visa quotas, labour contracts, and multiple department approvals
become routine tasks that can drain internal resources. This is where professional
PRO services become essential.
Challenges
Mid‑Sized Companies Face
•
Higher volume of employee
visas. More staff means more visa applications,
renewals and cancellations to manage.
•
Multi‑department approvals. You may need to deal not only with immigration and labour
ministries but also with the Department of Economic Development (DED), civil
defence, municipality and other authorities.
•
CICPA passes and
industry‑specific requirements. Some sectors
require passes from the Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection
Authority (CICPA); managing these submissions adds complexity.
•
HR support. On‑boarding, off‑boarding and payroll tasks increase as headcount
grows and must align with UAE labour law.
The Standard
Package from Fimkin
For companies employing 50–100 people, Fimkin offers a Standard
Package at 1 500 USD per month. In addition to immigration and
labour‑department processing, this plan includes:
•
Typing for DED, civil defence
and municipality applications.
•
CICPA pass submissions twice
monthly.
•
Medical and biometric
pick‑up/drop‑off services for employees.
•
Access to Fimkin’s digital
dashboard, where you can track every application, monitor visa statuses and
receive day‑to‑day updates on pending tasks.
On Fimkin’s unified platform, HR managers submit documents once and
the system routes them to the appropriate government agencies. Built‑in
reminders help ensure that trade licences, labour cards and visa renewals are
processed on time. Online payments via Stripe, Tabby or Tamara reduce paperwork
and simplify expense tracking.
Frequently Asked
Questions

Companies with growing teams (50–100 staff) that need more than basic visa
processing should use a mid‑range PRO plan. The inclusion of DED and
municipality tasks ensures wider coverage for business operations.

By ensuring paperwork is accurate and submitted on time, PRO services help
avoid penalties and late fees. One consultancy estimates that outsourcing can

Apart from cost savings, businesses benefit from 24/7 support, customized
solutions and guaranteed compliance.
What types of visas can PRO services help with?
PRO firms handle employee visas, family residency visas, visa cancellations and
renewals. They also manage labour cards, Emirates ID cards and other
documentation.
Do PRO services ensure financial transparency?
Yes. Professional providers give clients access to receipts and detailed
records of all charges, ensuring no hidden costs.

regulatory tasks increases as well. Fimkin’s Standard Package delivers
