What types of companies can you set up in the UAE?

We handle mainland limited liability companies, all major free zone jurisdictions — DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA, IFZA, and 40+ others — and offshore structures in RAK ICC and JAFZA. Our team advises on the right structure based on your activity, ownership requirements, and banking needs.

What is the difference between mainland, free zone, and offshore?

Mainland companies can trade directly in the UAE market and hold government contracts. Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership and sector-specific licences but restrict direct mainland trading without a local distributor. Offshore structures are used for holding, asset protection, and international contracting — they cannot operate commercially in the UAE.

How long does the company formation process typically take?

Most mainland LLCs are incorporated within 7–14 working days. Free zone formations typically complete in 3–7 working days. Bank account approvals vary by institution — we coordinate all submissions in parallel to minimise total elapsed time.

Can I set up a UAE company without being physically present in Dubai?

Yes. For most free zone jurisdictions, the full formation can be completed remotely through notarised and apostilled documents. Certain mainland activities and some bank account openings may require a brief in-person visit, which our team coordinates to minimise disruption to your schedule.

Do you provide ongoing support after company registration?

Our engagements are structured as ongoing advisory relationships, not one-time transactions. Post-formation, we provide corporate tax compliance, VAT filing, annual audit, visa processing, and corporate secretarial services — all under one engagement team.
