Business setup in the UAE
Free zone and mainland company formation, visas and bank introductions, from the team that also builds the brand, website and campaigns.

The licence is only the first of four things you need, and the other three usually start from scratch.
Zone advice that is really a sales pitch
Every agent recommends the zone they earn most from. You need the comparison, not the pitch.
Costs that arrive in instalments
The licence price quoted, then visas, then the establishment card, then the office. The total only appears later.
Licensed, and still invisible
No brand, no website, no business email, so the first proposal goes out from a personal address.
We set up companies in the free zones and on the mainland, and we also build the websites and campaigns those companies need afterwards. That second half is why our advice on the first half is different: we are not finished when the licence arrives.
The right structure depends on four things, and only four: your activity, how many visas you need, whether you need a physical office, and where your customers are. We compare the options against those, put the full cost in writing, and tell you plainly when a cheaper zone would serve you just as well.
Once the licence is issued, the same team registers the domain, sets up business email, builds the brand and website, and starts the first campaigns, so the company is trading rather than waiting on the next supplier.
A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.
We match your activity, visa count and budget against the zones and the mainland, and send the full cost in writing.

Which free zone is cheapest?
The cheapest licence is rarely the cheapest company. Visa allocation, office requirements, renewal and banking all change the real number, so we compare the total for your case rather than quoting a headline.
Free zone or mainland?
A free zone suits most service, trading and online businesses. Mainland makes sense when you need to trade directly in the local market without restriction. We will say which fits, including when the answer is not the one that earns us more.
How long does setup take?
It depends on the zone, the activity and the documents. We give a timeline in writing with the quote, and we tell you which steps are outside anyone's control.
Can you open the bank account?
We prepare the file and make the introduction. The bank makes the decision, and no one can honestly promise otherwise.
Do I have to use you for the website too?
No. Plenty of clients take the licence and build elsewhere. It is simply faster when one team does both.
