Frequently Asked Questions

What business structures are available in the UAE?

Businesses can typically be established as a mainland company or within one of the UAE's free zones, depending on the business activity and ownership requirements. We help identify which structure fits your plans.

What is the difference between mainland and free zone company formation?

Mainland companies generally operate under UAE commercial regulations with fewer restrictions on where they can trade, while free zone companies operate within a specific free zone jurisdiction. The right choice depends on your business activity and market plans.

What documents are required for company formation in the UAE?

Requirements vary by business activity and structure, but generally include passport copies, business plan details and application forms. We guide clients through the exact documentation needed for their specific setup.

How is a business activity selected?

Business activity is selected based on the nature of your operations and must align with the licensing category available under your chosen structure. We help identify a suitable activity classification.

Can a foreign investor own a company in the UAE?

Ownership options depend on the business activity, structure and jurisdiction selected. We provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and current regulations.

Do you assist with business license renewals?

Yes, in addition to initial company formation, we support ongoing requirements such as license renewals and related corporate documentation.

How long does company formation typically take?
