Welcome to
Marensa Advisory 

Practical governance, risk and compliance support businesses in the UAE and beyond.

Who We Are

Marensa Advisory FZ-LLC is a UAE-based governance, risk and compliance advisory firm working across the GCC, Africa, Europe and North America.

Our work sits where regulation meets day-to-day operations. Instead of dropping a stack of documents on your desk, we help you build a control environment that actually runs inside your business.

We focus on how decisions are made, approved and evidenced – so that when a regulator, auditor or counterparty says “show me”, you can respond calmly.

We specialize in:

  • Regulatory and compliance advisory for both financial and non-financial sectors

  • Company setup and market entry across the UAE and selected international centres

  • Outsourced roles such as Resident Director, MLRO and outsourced compliance officer

  • Financial licensing support from initial strategy through to readiness, remediation and ongoing support

Operate with Confidence

Our Customized Offerings

We don’t sell generic “toolkits”. We help you put in place frameworks that match the way your organisation really works.

“Compliance isn’t a finance thing. It’s a business thing.”

Tailored Compliance Services

We help you build AML/CFT, conduct and privacy frameworks that staff can follow and regulators can test. That means a complete policy suite, registers, monitoring plans and real evidence , not just templates.

Licensing Advisory

We map your activities to the right licence, build the full dossier (business plan, capital, controls, governance) and handle the back-and-forth with the regulator until the licence is approved or the review is complete.

Tailored Corporate Solutions

We put in place board charters, risk registers, delegations and project governance so decisions are recorded, responsibilities are clear and your group can show how it is run in practice.

Our Achievements

The numbers below summarise work we’ve already delivered, licences approved, structures set up, and clients we continue to support.

Business Sectors
we work with

We work with financial and non-financial businesses that need controls which hold up under inspection, not just on paper.


From licensing files and AML frameworks to board governance and risk registers, we focus on what regulators, auditors and counterparties will ask for on a difficult day.

“Risk management: not just for banks; built for businesses.”
