Built for every kind of setup business
Business setup consultancies
Call every lead in seconds, qualify, quote from your packages and book consultations. Then keep clients updated until the licence is in hand.
PRO and visa service companies
Answer “where is my visa?” from your tracker, book medicals and biometrics, and chase every missing document automatically.
Free zones and setup authorities
One contact centre that knows every department’s SOPs, raises the case and routes it to the right team first time.
Business centres and serviced offices
Meeting rooms, flexi desks, mail handling and Ejari questions handled 24/7, with renewals prompted before they lapse.
Where setup companies lose clients
From the first enquiry to the third renewal. Pick one to see how Northline AI fixes it.
The problem
Founders contact three or four setup companies at once.
Google Ads leads are expensive, and the company that calls back first with real answers usually gets the consultation. Leads that arrive at night or on weekends wait until Monday.
How Northline AI solves it
Every lead called within seconds, 24/7.
- Calls web, WhatsApp and ad leads instantly
- Qualifies activity, visas, office and budget
- Books the right consultant and logs it in your CRM
The value
More consultations from the same ad spend
HBR found firms that responded within an hour were nearly 7× more likely to qualify a lead.
A new lead, called back in 28 seconds
A founder in Mumbai fills in your form at 11 PM Dubai time.

How many clients are you losing to slow call-backs?
Answer two questions. We do the maths.
How many enquiries do you get a month?
What do you earn from a new client?

Extra enquiries that become clients
Extra revenue a year
AED 3,240,000
About 18 more clients a month, simply by calling every enquiry back in seconds and following up until they decide.
- Extra clients a month18
- Extra revenue a monthAED 270,000
How we calculate this
- Extra clients = enquiries × a 2-point lift in enquiry-to-client rate (change it under assumptions).
- Revenue = extra clients × what you earn per client, excluding renewals.
A Dubai setup consultancy with 900 enquiries a month
Extra revenue a month
AED 270K
