Under the UAE e-invoicing system, your invoices will pass through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP). Choosing one is a business decision, not only a technical one. These questions help you compare providers calmly.
1. Is the provider accredited?
Only providers approved by the UAE Ministry of Finance can act as ASPs. Ask for proof, and check the official list on the Ministry’s website before you sign anything.
2. Will it connect to your software?
Ask which accounting or ERP systems the provider supports, and whether your exact version is included. A connection that needs manual uploads can cost you time every month.
3. How is it priced?
Providers may charge setup fees, a monthly or yearly fee, or a price per invoice. Ask for a written example based on your real invoice volume, so you can compare like with like.
4. What support do you get?
Rejected invoices will happen, especially in the first months. Ask how fast support replies, whether it is in English and Arabic, and who helps you fix problems.
5. How is your data protected?
Ask where data is stored, who can see it, and what happens to your records if you leave.
6. How easy is it to leave?
Check the contract length, notice period and how you can export your data. You should not feel locked in.
7. Who will help you get started?
Setup, testing and training take effort. Find out what the provider does itself and what you must manage.
