Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about business setup in Dubai, company formation costs, and UAE business licensing

1. How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai?

Company setup costs in Dubai vary by jurisdiction. Free zone packages start from AED 12,500-20,000 per year including license, visa quota, and office space. Mainland company formation costs range from AED 15,000-25,000 annually. Our transparent pricing includes all government fees with no hidden charges.

2. What's the difference between free zone and mainland company setup?

Free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% tax, and full profit repatriation but can only trade with UAE mainland through distributors. Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE, access government contracts, and operate without restrictions, but are subject to 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000.

3. How long does business setup in Dubai take?

Most free zone company formations complete in 3-5 working days. Mainland company setup takes 7-10 working days depending on business activity and approval requirements. We expedite the entire process including trade name approval, license issuance, and initial approvals.

4. Can I own 100% of my company in Dubai as a foreigner?

Yes. Foreign investors can own 100% of companies in all UAE free zones and in most mainland business activities since 2021. The UAE eliminated the requirement for a local sponsor/partner for most business categories, making Dubai one of the world's most investor-friendly jurisdictions.

5. What documents are required for company formation in Dubai?

Basic documents include passport copies of shareholders/directors, Emirates ID (if UAE resident), NOC (No Objection Certificate) if employed in UAE, business plan outlining activities, and proof of address. Our PRO services team handles all document attestation and submission to authorities.

6. Which is the best free zone for my business in Dubai?

The best free zone depends on your business activity and requirements. DMCC is ideal for trading and commodities, DIFC for financial services, JAFZA for logistics and import/export, Dubai Silicon Oasis for tech companies, and Media City for creative businesses. Use our AI Jurisdiction Wizard for personalized recommendations.

7. Do I need to be physically present in Dubai to set up a company?

No, physical presence is not mandatory for most free zones. We can complete the entire setup process remotely with proper documentation and power of attorney. However, visiting Dubai is recommended for opening a corporate bank account and collecting Emirates ID if you plan to obtain a residence visa.

8. What business activities can I conduct in Dubai?

Dubai permits virtually all legal business activities including trading, consulting, manufacturing, e-commerce, technology services, real estate, tourism, healthcare, education, and professional services. Each license type (commercial, professional, industrial) determines permitted activities. We help select the right license and activities for your business.
