HBS · Business Bay, Dubai
Two practices, one team. HBS Real Estate to buy, sell, rent or invest. HBS Corporate Services to form and run your company in the UAE.
Two practices
Investors form companies. Founders buy homes. At HBS both files are handled by teams that share an address, a corridor and a client file.
HBS Real Estate
Residential sales and rentals, off-plan programmes, property management for owners abroad and Golden Visa guidance. RERA-licensed brokerage, ORN 1774.
HBS Corporate Services
Mainland, free zone and offshore companies, residence visas, bank account files, bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax returns. A licensed corporate services and accounting practice.
The HBS group
HBS stands for Home & Business Solutions: the two things a newcomer to Dubai needs first.
The group was founded by Said Lachgar, who still runs it. It grew from one observation: the people buying property in Dubai were the same people forming companies, and nobody served both needs, in French, at one address.
HBS Real Estate is a brokerage registered with RERA, the regulator of the Dubai Land Department, under ORN 1774. HBS Corporate Services, operated by Home & Business Solutions FZE, is a licensed corporate services and accounting practice. Both work from Office 102, U-Bora Tower, Business Bay.
More than 50 professionals work across the two practices: property advisers, corporate advisers, accountants and tax specialists. Clients come from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Québec and the Maghreb, alongside an international clientele served in English.

Why HBS
Your broker, your corporate adviser and your accountant share a corridor. Nothing is passed from one provider to the next.
Property, company, visas and bank file handled by one team, at one address in Business Bay.
Buying through a company? The purchase and the incorporation move in parallel, on the same documents, with the same advisers.
RERA ORN 1774. Transactions registered at the Dubai Land Department. Off-plan payments into DLD-supervised escrow. Returns filed with the FTA.
French is the first working language, with English and Arabic. The office runs on Dubai time (UTC+4), two to three hours ahead of Paris.
Office 102, U-Bora Tower. Meet us in Business Bay, or work with us by video call and WhatsApp. Most clients do both.
Property management, annual accounts, licence and visa renewals: we are organised for what follows the signature.
Your property and your company are handled by teams that share an office. You explain your situation once, to one adviser who keeps it.
A written quote before any engagement, and agency fees set out before any offer. Nothing reaches the invoice that was not agreed first.
Which project we set aside and why, which structure costs more than it saves. You get a recommendation you can act on, not a catalogue.
Letting, management, annual accounts, licence and visa renewals. The years after the deal are the ones that cost you when nobody follows them.
Our office
Office 102, 187 Marasi Drive, a few minutes from Downtown Dubai. Meetings at the office or by video call, during opening hours.

Careers
HBS Real Estate recruits experienced, French-speaking property advisers. Corporate advisory and administrative roles open as the group grows.
The recruitment process is handled remotely. The residence visa is sponsored by the company, training comes with personal follow-up, and remuneration is commission-based. Terms are set out in writing before you sign.
Applications go to human resources directly and never into the client database. Speculative applications are read.

Open positions are published on LinkedIn first.
