Executive search and market mapping across the GCC, coordinated with regional partners. Visa sponsorship, iqama/residency and country-specific employment law are handled by qualified partners.
Global hiring pathArabic and French (Maghreb) are provided via partner-coordinated capability and labelled clearly. Cultural, religious and calendar considerations (working week, Ramadan, national days) are built into program cadence.
Localization guidanceEntity formation, tax structuring, employment law and regulated licensing are coordinated with qualified partners — never delivered by FGV directly.
FGV does not employ candidates on your behalf, sponsor visas or provide employment authorization. Where an EOR is appropriate, a qualified partner is introduced.
FGV does not present engagements as endorsed by any government, ministry or sovereign entity unless that endorsement exists in writing and is confirmed with the client.
In-region presence is described honestly. FGV coordinates with local operating partners rather than claiming offices that are not established.
Where does the next stage actually start?
Answer eight questions. The output is a staged recommendation across the four pillars — not a proposal. Legal, tax and entity work stay with qualified partners.
- Advertising, financial and consumer-protection rules vary by country and are respected in-program.
- Employment, visa and residency processes are handled by qualified partners.
- Public-sector adjacency requires disclosure; FGV does not imply endorsement without written confirmation.
Flow Group Ventures does not provide legal, tax, immigration or regulatory advice. Where an engagement requires those disciplines, qualified partners are coordinated inside the program and clearly identified.
