    QUESTIONS

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does it cost to set up a business in the UAE?+
    Costs vary by jurisdiction, business activity, number of visas, and office requirements. These are indicative ranges. Your dedicated advisor will give you an exact, all-inclusive quote after a short conversation.
    What’s the difference between a Free Zone and Mainland company?+
    Free Zones offer 100% foreign ownership and a faster setup, and suit businesses trading internationally, in e-commerce, consulting or tech. Mainland companies can trade freely across the UAE and take on government contracts, with no cap on visas. The right choice depends on your target market and activity.
    How long does it take to set up a company?+
    Free Zone incorporation is often possible within a few business days once your documents are ready. Mainland setups usually take a bit longer due to additional government approvals, and visa processing adds further time on top. Your advisor will confirm an exact timeline for your chosen jurisdiction.
    Can I set up a business without living in the UAE?+
    Yes. We support fully remote company formation, handling document preparation and licence issuance on your behalf. You’ll typically need to visit the UAE once for biometrics or visa stamping, and we’ll coordinate the process across time zones.
    What documents do I need?+
    At minimum, a valid passport copy and a description of your intended business activity. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also need a No Objection Certificate if you’re currently employed in the UAE, or proof of address. We’ll send an exact checklist once we know your structure.
    Do I need a physical office?+
    Not necessarily. Most Free Zone companies can operate with a virtual office or flexi-desk arrangement. Mainland companies require a registered office address, though shared workspaces can often qualify.
    What about UAE corporate tax?+
    The UAE applies a 9% corporate tax on profits above a set annual threshold, with profits below that threshold taxed at 0%. There’s no personal income tax. Some Free Zone entities may qualify for a 0% rate on certain income under specific conditions.
    Why use a consultant instead of doing it myself?+
    It’s possible to do it yourself, but it means dealing with multiple government authorities and jurisdiction-specific requirements without much guidance on what fits your business activity.
