CIRCULAR ENERGY, DUBAI (UAE)
“We completed our incorporation within 48 hours through Itana. The regulatory clarity and streamlined process allowed us to focus on building our business rather than navigating bureaucracy.”
Varun Giridhar
Chief Executive Officer
FUTURE AFRICA, USA
“Converting to Naira to pay our employees is a stressful process, and people want to earn in USD. Additionally, we have expatriates from different parts of the world; not only is there a limited expatriate quota, but the cost is quite high. I’m pumped that Itana is helping to solve all of these problems.”

Legal & Compliance Manager
MONA, NIGERIA
