Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses can you help set up?

We assist all business types including limited liability companies (LLC), free zone entities, sole establishments, branches, and holding companies. We also help with professional firms looking to establish UAE presence. Each structure has unique setup requirements that we handle efficiently.

Which is better: mainland or free zone?

The best choice depends on your business activities and goals. Mainland companies offer access to the UAE market without restrictions. Free zones provide 0% corporate tax and customs benefits but limit you to doing business within that zone. Many businesses start in free zones and expand to mainland later. We help you understand the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.

How long does business setup take?

Timeline varies by business type and location. Mainland companies typically take 2-4 weeks. Free zone setups can be faster (5-10 days) depending on the free zone. Additional licensing requirements like external approvals can extend the timeline. We provide a clear schedule before starting the process.

What documents are required for business setup?

Basic documents include passport copies, visa for foreign investors, and proof of address. Corporate documents require MOA/AOA, and lease agreements if renting office. Some activities may need special permits or No objection certificates. We provide a complete checklist and handle document preparation and submission.

Do you help with bank account opening?

Yes, we assist with corporate bank account opening. Our team prepares required documentation including company profile forms and board resolutions. We have relationships with major UAE banks and can help expedite the account opening process, though final approval depends on the bank's internal procedures.

Can you help me choose the right free zone?

UAE has over 40 free zones, each with different benefits and focus industries. We help you select the zone that aligns with your business activities. Factors to consider include tax implications, ownership requirements, industry focus, infrastructure, and long-term expansion plans. We ensure you understand the rules and restrictions before committing.

What are the costs involved in business setup?

Costs vary significantly by business type and location. Mainland setup typically costs AED 10,000-30,000 depending on activities. Free zone setup costs AED 12,000-20,000 plus annual fees. Additional costs include trade license fees, visa processing (AED 3,000 per visa), office rent (varies by location), and bank account setup charges. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
