1. Company Information

Gulf CV Writers is an Indian-based professional resume and career branding service provider, officially registered under the MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) Act, India.

 

We currently operate from India while serving clients across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. Our goal is to help professionals in these regions enhance their career prospects with globally recognized, recruiter-approved CVs, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles.

 

The company is in the process of registering as a proprietorship firm and obtaining a GST number under Indian regulations. Our MSME certification enables us to provide digital services internationally while maintaining operational compliance with Indian law. We officially expanded into the Gulf market on November 1, 2025, to meet growing demand for expert CV writing and personal branding services in Dubai and the UAE, leveraging our India-based expertise, certified writers, and secure digital operations.
