What founders
ask first.
What is the best place to set up a company in the UAE?+
It depends on your activity, target market, ownership needs, visa plans and budget. Mainland, free zone and offshore structures serve different objectives; we compare them against your actual operating model.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a UAE company?+
Many mainland and free zone activities allow full foreign ownership. Requirements can vary by activity and authority, so the structure should be confirmed before applying.
How long does company formation take?+
Timelines vary by jurisdiction, activity and required external approvals. Straightforward setups can move quickly once documents are complete; regulated activities may take longer.
Do I need to be in Dubai to set up a business?+
Some formation steps may be completed remotely, while banking, medical tests, biometrics or specific authority steps can require your presence. We map this out at the start.
Can you help open a UAE business bank account?+
Yes. We help prepare the company profile and KYC file, identify suitable banking options and coordinate applications. Final approval always remains with the bank.
Does every UAE business need VAT and corporate tax registration?+
Not necessarily. Obligations depend on factors including taxable turnover, legal form and applicable rules. We assess the business and guide the correct registration and filing path.
Who can qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?+
Eligibility is category-specific and may include qualifying investors, property owners, entrepreneurs and skilled professionals. We review evidence against the current requirements before recommending a path.
What happens after my company licence is issued?+
Post-setup steps can include immigration registration, visas, banking, tax registrations, bookkeeping and renewals. We help connect these steps so nothing essential is missed.
