Answers

Common questions

Free zone or mainland: which is better?

Free zones suit businesses trading internationally or with other free zones, and often cost less. Mainland suits businesses selling directly to UAE customers and government. We compare both for your activity.

How long does a UAE company setup take?

Usually 1–3 weeks for the licence, depending on the authority and activity; visas and bank account take longer.

Do I need to register for corporate tax after setup?

Yes. Every UAE company must register for corporate tax, even if it expects to pay 0%. New companies have a set deadline after incorporation.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a UAE company?

In free zones, yes. On the mainland, 100% foreign ownership is allowed for most activities, with some exceptions.

Do you help open a bank account?

We prepare the document pack and introduce you to banks; approval is the bank's decision.
