Three ways to start in the UAE
Tell us your plan and we'll recommend the structure that fits your activity and your goals.
New company in the UAE
Mainland or free zone, with full foreign ownership for most activities.
Branch of your company
A Dubai branch of a company already registered in your country, under the same name.
Offshore company
A structure for holding assets and international business. It can't trade inside the UAE or sponsor visas.
Already have a UAE company?
We handle renewals and amendments while you're abroad.

You stay in your country. We handle the file in Dubai.
You send us your documents on WhatsApp or by email, we deal with the authorities here and keep you updated at every step. Many steps can be completed without traveling.
If you need a UAE residence visa, you'll need to come to the UAE for the medical test and the Emirates ID fingerprints. We plan the steps with you so your visit is as short as possible.

For a new company or offshore
- Passport copy of each owner and manager
- A recent passport-size photo
- The business activities you want
For a branch of your company
- Certificate of incorporation of the parent company
- Memorandum or articles of association
- Board resolution to open the branch and appoint a manager
These usually need to be attested in your country and by the UAE embassy there.
Questions from international clients
Do I need to travel to the UAE?
Not for most of the setup. You'll need to come if you want a UAE residence visa (for the medical test and Emirates ID fingerprints) and, in most cases, to open a bank account. We plan these steps together.
Can I own 100% of my company?
Yes. Free zones allow full foreign ownership, and so do most mainland activities today. We confirm this for your activity.
Mainland, free zone or offshore: which one fits me?
It depends on where your customers are and what you want the company to do. Mainland lets you trade anywhere in the UAE, a free zone suits many online, consulting and international businesses, and an offshore company is only for holding and international business. We recommend the right one for free.
Can you help me open a bank account?
Yes. We prepare your documents and guide you through the process. Most UAE banks ask to meet the owner in person, and the final approval is always the bank's decision.
How do payments work?
We confirm the full cost before we start. You pay in stages, and each stage is paid before it begins. See our Terms & Conditions.
