Why This is Important
Starting a business in the UAE offers tremendous opportunities, but navigating the regulatory landscape can be complex. From choosing the right business structure and jurisdiction to obtaining licenses and opening bank accounts, each decision has long-term implications for your operations, taxes, and compliance obligations. Mistakes in the setup phase can be costly and time-consuming to rectify. Professional business setup services ensure you start on the right foundation, with the optimal structure, proper documentation, and all necessary registrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1.How long does it take to set up a business in UAE?
Freezone company setup typically takes 1-2 weeks. Mainland company setup takes 2-4 weeks depending on the activity and emirate. Bank account opening can add another 2-4 weeks. We expedite the process by ensuring all documentation is correct from the start and following up proactively with authorities.
Q2.What is the difference between mainland and freezone setup?
Mainland companies can do business anywhere in UAE and internationally, require a local service agent (not a partner), and are subject to 9% Corporate Tax. Freezone companies get 100% ownership, 0% tax on qualifying income, but are restricted from direct mainland business (except through distributors). Choice depends on your business model.
Q3.Do I need a local partner for mainland business?
No, 100% foreign ownership is now allowed for most mainland business activities in UAE. You only need a local service agent (not a partner) who provides certain administrative services for a fixed annual fee. Some restricted activities may still require local partnership.
Q4.What is UBO registration and is it mandatory?
Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) registration identifies individuals who ultimately own or control a company. It's mandatory for all UAE companies as part of anti-money laundering regulations. We help prepare and submit UBO declarations to the relevant authorities.
Q5.Can you help with bank account opening?
Yes, we assist with bank account opening by preparing all required documentation, making introductions to banks, and supporting you through the application process. While final approval is at the bank's discretion, our experience and relationships significantly improve success rates and reduce processing time.
