QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Business Setup FAQs

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in the UAE?
Yes. Most mainland commercial and professional activities now allow 100% foreign ownership without a local partner, and Free Zone companies have always offered full foreign ownership. We advise on the right structure for your specific activity.
What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone?
A Mainland (DED) licence lets you trade directly across the UAE local market and take government contracts. A Free Zone licence offers tax benefits and simplified setup but trades mainly within the zone or internationally. We help you choose based on your activity and customers.
How long does company formation take?
Many licences can be issued within a few working days once the trade name and activity are approved and documents are ready. Timelines vary by jurisdiction and activity, and we confirm a realistic estimate before we start.
Do you help with the corporate bank account?
Yes. We assist with corporate bank account opening through our trusted banking partners, prepare the required documentation, and support you through the compliance and KYC process.
Can I get a residence visa with my trade licence?
Yes. A trade licence gives you an investor or partner visa quota, and you can also sponsor employees and family. We handle the establishment card, labour and immigration registration, and the full visa process.
What documents do I need to start?
Typically a clear passport copy of each shareholder, a passport-size photo, your proposed business activity, and three trade name options. We give you the exact list for your structure at the enquiry stage.
