Launch Your Business in theUAE with Confidence

A Mainland company allows you to conduct business throughout the UAE and internationally without restrictions. Free Zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, tax benefits, and simplified setup but have some restrictions on local market activities. Offshore companies are ideal for international business activities, asset protection, and investments but cannot conduct business within the UAE.

The timeline varies depending on the jurisdiction and company type. Typically, a Free Zone company can be set up in 1-2 weeks, a Mainland company in 2-4 weeks, and an Offshore company in 3-5 business days. These timelines may vary based on the complexity of your business activities and documentation readiness.

Costs vary based on jurisdiction, company type, and business activities. Key expenses include license fees, registration fees, office space, visa costs, and service provider fees. Mainland setups typically range from AED 15,000 to AED 50,000+, Free Zone setups from AED 12,000 to AED 40,000+, and Offshore companies from AED 10,000 to AED 20,000+.

While physical presence is preferred, it's not always mandatory. Many procedures can be completed remotely with a properly notarized and attested Power of Attorney. However, for certain steps like bank account opening and visa processing, your physical presence will be required.

Basic requirements include passport copies of shareholders and directors, proof of residential address, bank reference letters, and a business plan. Additional documents may be required depending on your business activity and jurisdiction. All foreign documents must be notarized and attested by the UAE embassy in your country.

Yes, business owners and employees with valid UAE residence visas can sponsor their immediate family members (spouse, children, and parents under certain conditions). Sponsorship requires meeting minimum salary requirements (typically AED 4,000+ with accommodation) and providing proof of suitable accommodation.

The number of visas depends on your company's office space size, legal structure, and jurisdiction. Mainland companies typically get visa allocations based on office space (approximately 1 visa per 9 sqm) and business activity. Free Zone packages often come with predetermined visa quotas, ranging from 2-15+ visas depending on the package selected.
