Have questions?

Should I Start My Business in UAE Mainland or Free Zone?

When deciding whether to establish your business in the UAE Mainland or in one of its Free Zones, it's important to consider factors such as the relevant licensing authorities, business setup costs, approval processes, and regulatory frameworks. For expert advice and assistance in navigating these choices, it's advisable to consult with experienced business setup specialists in Dubai.

Visa Requirements for Business Owners and Employees in the UAE

Visa requirements vary depending on the type of company you wish to form. For a Mainland company, company management and key personnel will need to obtain a resident visa. Only after this can you proceed to hire employees for your business. For Free Zone companies, visa issuance is subject to approval by local authorities, based on the company size and specific regulations. If you're setting up an offshore company, however, a resident visa is not required.

What Are the Costs Involved in Setting Up a Business in Dubai?

The costs associated with setting up a business in Dubai depend on various factors such as the nature of your business, the type of license you need, and your chosen location. To ensure that your setup is cost-effective and compliant with local regulations, it is recommended to seek guidance from professional business consultants in Dubai.

What Are the Key Expenses for Company Formation in Dubai?

Setting up a company in Dubai involves several costs. These can include the business registration fee, initial approval charges, visa applications, trade name registration fees, office space leasing, and any other necessary permits. Each of these costs should be carefully planned for, to ensure a smooth and successful company formation process.
