It was a pleasant surprise to have CEO Mr. Suren Jajra personally meet with us and offer valuable advice for our business.We want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Maricon for her exceptional support. She was proactive in keeping us informed and helped guide us through the entire transition with great care and attention to detail.In addition, the CEO went above and beyond to help us cancel our old license.

I’ve been working with Salomi for 3-4 months now and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. She has helped me open 2 licenses at this time and the process was very smooth, easy and fast. I also did my visa change with her and I’m very happy with how easy and fast it was. 10/10 for sure. & she’s available any time I speak to her and very helpful.
