Services · Business setup

A UAE company set up properly, then put to work online.

UAE business setup for founders and companies in the US who want a free zone company or a mainland company without chasing five different offices. We work with the free zones and licensed partners directly, and keep you updated at every step.

Once the licence is issued, the same team can build the website, set up business email and start the marketing, so the company is ready to trade.

What you get

Everything between choosing a jurisdiction and opening for business.

Our UAE business setup work covers the steps most founders find slow, in the order the authorities need them.

Explain your project

  • Free zone company

    Choosing the free zone that fits your activities and visa needs, then preparing and submitting the free zone company application.

    A licence that matches what you actually do.

  • Mainland company

    A mainland company for trading across the UAE or with government clients, including the initial approval, trade name and local requirements.

    You can sell to clients anywhere in the UAE.

  • Business activities

    The right activities on the licence from the start, so you do not have to amend it later.

    One licence that covers the work you plan to do.

  • Residence visas

    Investor and employee visas, medical tests and Emirates ID, scheduled so you spend as few days as possible in queues.

    Visas done without you managing every appointment.

  • Bank account opening

    Introductions to UAE banks and help preparing the documents they ask for. Approval is always the bank's decision.

    A complete file, which is what gets accounts opened.

  • Corporate tax and VAT registration

    Corporate tax registration and VAT registration where required, handled with licensed tax partners.

    Registered on time, without penalties.

  • PRO services and renewals

    Document clearing, attestations and licence renewals, with reminders before anything expires.

    Nothing lapses because a date was missed.

  • Website and launch

    A website, business email and Google Business Profile ready when the licence is, built by our own web team.

    You can take enquiries from the first day.

Who this is for

Three kinds of founder we set up.

Most setups fall into one of three situations, and each one points to a different structure.

01

A consultant or freelancer starting alone

Usually a free zone company with one visa: the quickest and simplest structure for a service business.

Simple structure, quick to start.

02

A company opening a UAE branch or subsidiary

A free zone company or a mainland company depending on where your clients are, with the parent company documents attested in the right order.

Parent documents prepared once, correctly.

03

A trader who needs to sell across the UAE

A mainland company with the right activities and premises, so you can invoice any client in the country.

No limits on where you sell.

Four steps from first call to trading.

  1. 01PlanActivities, visas, office needs and where your clients are, turned into a recommended structure in writing.
  2. 02ApplyTrade name, approvals and the licence application submitted with a complete document set.
  3. 03SettleVisas, Emirates ID, bank introductions and tax registration, in the order they depend on each other.
  4. 04LaunchWebsite, email and Google profile live, so the company can start trading.

Questions people ask before setting up in the UAE.

It depends on where your clients are.

A free zone company suits service businesses, consultants and companies trading internationally. A mainland company suits businesses that sell directly across the UAE or work with government clients. We recommend one after the first call, in writing.
