Questions
Frequently asked questions about business setup in the UAE
Clear answers to what most founders ask us first. Still unsure? Our advisors reply on WhatsApp.
Costs depend on jurisdiction, activity, office type and visas. Main Zone packages start at AED 5,500 for a free zone license with no visa, AED 15,000 for an all-inclusive free zone company with one visa, and AED 18,900 for a Dubai mainland LLC. You get a fixed, itemised quote before you start.
Yes. Free zone companies are 100% foreign owned, and most mainland commercial and professional activities now allow 100% foreign ownership with no local sponsor. A few strategic activities still have restrictions, and your advisor will confirm this for your activity.
Choose a free zone for international trade, ecommerce, consulting and low setup costs. Choose mainland if you want to sell directly to UAE customers, open physical outlets or bid for government tenders. Eligible Dubai free zone companies can also get a DET permit to serve the Dubai mainland.
Many free zone licenses are issued within a few working days once documents are complete. Mainland setups usually take one to three weeks, depending on approvals. Visas and bank accounts add extra time.
It depends on your activity, budget, visa needs and preferred location. IFZA and Meydan suit cost conscious service and ecommerce businesses, DMCC suits premium trading and tech brands, and RAKEZ offers some of the most affordable options. We compare them for you.
Most free zone companies can be formed remotely. You will need to visit the UAE for visa medicals and Emirates ID biometrics, and some banks require an in person meeting.
Yes. We prepare your full KYC file and introduce you directly to banks such as Emirates NBD, Wio, Mashreq, FAB and RAKBANK. Final approval rests with the bank, and we manage the process until your account is active.
Yes. Shareholders can apply for an investor or partner visa, and you can sponsor employees and family members. Eligible investors and professionals may also qualify for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa.
The UAE applies 9% corporate tax on taxable profit above AED 375,000, and 5% VAT once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 a year. Qualifying free zone companies may benefit from 0% on qualifying income. Every new company must register for corporate tax within 3 months of incorporation. We handle registration and filings.
No. Every quotation lists government and service fees separately, and renewal costs are explained upfront.
