What is the difference between a Free Zone and Mainland company in Dubai?

The right structure depends on your business activity, target customers, office requirements and how you plan to operate in the UAE. Free Zones can be especially attractive for lean and internationally focused businesses, while Mainland structures can suit companies that want broad direct access to the UAE market.

Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Dubai?

Yes. 100% foreign ownership is available for many Free Zone companies and for many Mainland activities. The exact position depends on the selected activity, licence type and any requirements of the relevant authority.

How long does company formation in Dubai take?

Timelines depend on the company structure, business activities, required approvals and how quickly the required documents are available. Licensing, visa, Emirates ID and banking are separate steps and may each have their own processing times.

Do you support visas, Emirates ID, banking and UAE tax registration?

Yes. We coordinate the residence visa, medical test, biometrics and Emirates ID process, support corporate bank onboarding and assist with UAE Corporate Tax registration. Final approvals remain with the relevant authority, bank or service provider.

Can I start the company formation process from outside the UAE?

Much of the initial planning, activity selection, document preparation and company-licensing coordination can be handled remotely. Some later steps, such as medical testing or biometrics for a residence visa and Emirates ID, may require your presence in the UAE.
