FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

01Should I set up on the mainland or in a free zone?

It depends on who you plan to trade with and how many visas you need. Mainland companies can trade freely across the UAE; free zones suit businesses focused on international trade or a single sector. We’ll walk through your activity and recommend the structure that fits.

02How long does company formation take?

Most straightforward licences are issued within a few working days of submitting complete documentation. Timelines vary by jurisdiction and activity, and we’ll give you a clear estimate before we start.

03Can you help with a corporate bank account?

Yes. We prepare your documentation and introduce you to banking partners suited to your business activity and structure.

04What happens after my licence is issued?

We stay involved for visas, labour and immigration cards, VAT registration, and annual licence renewal — so nothing falls through the cracks in year one.
