About · Our Firm
A practical partner for business families.
Originate Advisory is a Dubai-based advisory firm working with family businesses in the UAE and internationally. We help families align their people, professionalise their structures and grow with confidence.
Family businesses are not just companies. They are shaped by relationships, ownership, history and a shared stake in the future. We work on the family and the business together, because that is where the real problems sit.
Our purpose
To help family businesses overcome what holds them back and create lasting value across generations.
Our vision
Family businesses that are aligned, well-governed and equipped to thrive in a changing world.
Our philosophy
Preserve the entrepreneurial spirit. Build the foundations for lasting success.
Professionalising a family business does not mean adding bureaucracy or changing what made it successful. It means putting in place the right structures, relationships, systems and management for the business as it is today, and for the business it wants to become.
Sometimes that is a family charter. Sometimes it is a difficult conversation the family has avoided for years. Sometimes it is a new holding structure, or a better way of making decisions. We start with the real situation, not a ready-made solution.
How we work with specialists.
We lead each engagement and bring in qualified lawyers, tax advisers and technology providers when the work needs them. The family has one point of accountability, and the specialists work to one plan.
Our family connection.
Originate Advisory is founded and owned by Omar Abdelrazak, a member of the family behind Future Native Holding, an international investment group focused on Africa. That connection is the source of our first-hand experience. The two businesses are separate, and how we handle the connection is set out on our International Expansion page.
