Why start a business in Dubai?
Dubai has become an increasingly attractive destination for entrepreneurs and businesses, thanks to ongoing legal reforms and ambitious initiatives aimed at simplifying business operations. With the introduction of long-term visas and free zones, Dubai has emerged as a global commercial capital, making it easier for foreign nationals to set up businesses in the city. Dubai’s well-connected transportation system, the absence of business taxes, and the development of its financial sector further enhance its appeal as a regional hub for trade and commerce. Its strategic location, situated between established economies in Europe and Asia, and emerging ones in Africa, also make it an ideal place to start a business.
Benefits of mainland formation
Company formation
Our company offers expert guidance and support to help investors choose the ideal location for their business presence in the UAE. With three options to choose from, including mainland (onshore), free zones (self-regulating emirates), and offshore, we simplify the decision-making process and provide customised solutions based on each client’s unique needs.
Starting a Dubai business: Key info
Company formation in Dubai is a fast and simple process, with strong incentives, especially in the form of the UAE’s free zones. Establishing a business in a free zone is particularly popular with foreign entrepreneurs due to 0% corporation and personal taxes, 100% company ownership, 100% repatriation of capital and profits, and no currency restrictions. With the right support, following a simple step-by-step process is affordable and straightforward.
Choose business activity
To choose a suitable free zone, consider business activity and zone restrictions. Media, medicine or transport-focused zones may be better. Import/export businesses should choose zones near ports or airports.
Select company name
Before finalising a company name in UAE, ensure that it follows naming conventions. Offensive language, religious or political references, and abbreviations are not allowed. If naming after a person, use their full name.
Finalize paperwork
To form a company, submit required docs like shareholder passports, company name and activity. Free zones may require a business plan or NOC. Our Dubai consultants can help with paperwork.
Receive your license notification
Once the application process is complete, the government will issue a company license. Our Dubai consultants will notify clients when their documents are ready for collection.
Open bank account
After receiving your paperwork, you can proceed to open a corporate bank account with local or global banks in the UAE. Our business setup services include assistance with choosing the best financial institution for your needs.
Visa process
To set up a Dubai company, obtain visas for you and your staff. Some free zones allow dependent visas. The process includes four steps: status adjustment, medical fitness test, Emirates ID registration, and visa stamping.
