Merritt is an international network of companies that provides corporate services, legal consultancy, and resident services with a presence in Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the United States.
Background and overview
The first company in Merritt’s network was established in 1998 in Hong Kong. The network’s initial Hong Kong operations previously used the names Asia Services and Hai Yang before the adoption of the Merritt brand. The first company was founded by four accountants from Hong Kong and Mainland China.[1]
In 2004, the group introduced French speaking services and in 2009 Spanish speaking services.[1] The network expanded to the UAE in 2009, opening offices in Dubai.[1]
In 2012, French and Spanish speaking services were centralized in Dubai to streamline operations and align business hours with clients based in Europe.[1] The network continued its expansion in 2017 with the opening of offices in Orlando, Florida.[1]
In 2019, following the retirement of the founders, a foundation was established to consolidate the network’s entities under one structure, and the brand name Merritt was adopted across operations in the UAE, Hong Kong, and the United States.[1]
Services
Merritt facilitates company formation and ongoing administrative maintenance, including services such as license renewal and share transfers, which are provided in all three countries. The network also offers guidance and support in obtaining residence visas and provides advisory services related to residency, which are offered in the UAE.
Legal advisory services are offered in the areas of contract law, labour law, succession law, and corporate governance. These services are described as being offered in the UAE through the network’s local entities. The group also manages a collection of websites and business entities catering to entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a focus on French and Spanish speaking markets. Merritt Middle East is described as an active IFZA partner.
Corporate structure
Merritt is a privately held network of companies rather than a single legal entity. Companies described as part of the network include Merritt Middle East DMCC (Dubai, UAE), Merritt USA LLC (Orlando, Florida, United States), Merritt Asia Limited (Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong), and Merritt Legal Consultants FZ-LLC (Ras Al Khaimah, UAE).[1]
