Business Setup FAQs
Common questions about starting a business in UAE
Mainland companies can trade directly with the UAE local market and have no restrictions on client locations. Free zone companies offer benefits like 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and easy setup, but may have restrictions on trading within UAE mainland.
Free zone companies can be set up in 2-5 working days, while mainland companies typically take 7-14 working days. With our expedited services, we can often complete the process faster.
Costs vary based on jurisdiction, business activity, and requirements. They typically include trade license fees, visa costs, office rent, and service fees. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden charges.
Yes, most of the setup process can be handled remotely. However, you may need to visit UAE for certain procedures like Emirates ID registration and bank account opening.
The number of visas depends on your office space and jurisdiction. Free zones typically allocate visas based on office size, while mainland companies can get visas based on business needs.
