Company formation services in Dubai are designed to simplify this process for entrepreneurs and investors. Dubai offers a highly business-friendly environment – foreigners can now own 100% of companies in most sectors, and the city consistently ranks among the top for ease of doing business. With zero personal income tax, excellent infrastructure, and a strategic geographic location, it's no wonder so many choose Dubai to launch their business.
Our professional company formation services cover every step needed to establish your business in Dubai. This includes assistance with choosing the right business license (commercial, professional, etc.), reserving a trade name, preparing legal documents (like the Memorandum of Association), and obtaining all necessary approvals from authorities. We advise you on the optimal jurisdiction for your company – whether it's mainland Dubai (for unrestricted UAE market access) or one of the many UAE free zones (for tax benefits and full foreign ownership). We also handle visa processing for owners and employees, bank account opening, and ensure compliance with local regulations at every stage.
By partnering with experts, you save time and avoid costly mistakes. Our team has deep knowledge of UAE regulations and documentation requirements, so your application is done right the first time. We coordinate with the Department of Economic Development (DED) or free zone authorities on your behalf, streamlining paperwork and approvals. The result is a faster, hassle-free setup – you can be up and running in days rather than weeks. Plus, we provide ongoing guidance on compliance and any renewals needed, so you can focus on growing your business.
Dubai’s pro-business policies and world-class amenities provide a strong foundation for new companies. You enjoy 0% corporate and income taxes, 100% repatriation of profits, and access to a diverse talent pool. Setting up in Dubai also grants you residency visas (investor visas) for you and your family, allowing you to live and work in the UAE. With our formation services, you can tap into these advantages with minimal bureaucracy. Whether you're launching a small startup or a branch of an international company, we tailor our services to your needs for a smooth launch.

The timeline can range from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the business activity and approvals required. In many cases, a straightforward company setup (with all documents in order) can be completed in about one week. Free zones often have faster processes (sometimes 3-5 working days), whereas mainland companies might take a bit longer due to additional approvals. Using professional services can significantly speed up the timeline by ensuring everything is done correctly and promptly.
Yes. Recent changes in UAE law allow 100% foreign ownership of companies in most industries in the mainland[1]. This means you typically do not need a local Emirati partner for many business activities. Free zone companies have always permitted 100% foreign ownership. However, a few strategic sectors (like oil & gas, defense, etc.) or professional licenses may still require a local agent or partner. We can advise you based on your specific business activity.
The common structures include Limited Liability Company (LLC) – ideal for most trading or service businesses, Free Zone Company – if you prefer a specific free zone jurisdiction with full ownership and tax benefits, Branch Office – if you’re an overseas company expanding into UAE, or Professional Firm – for certain professions (legal, consulting, etc.). LLCs are popular for mainland setups, allowing up to 50 shareholders and offering liability protection. We help you choose the best structure for your needs.
Mainland companies do require a physical office or workspace (even if modest) as part of the licensing process. Free zones often offer flexible options like flexi-desk or virtual office facilities, which fulfill the office requirement at lower cost. The kind of office needed depends on the license and jurisdiction. We can arrange suitable office solutions – from a flexi-desk for small startups to full offices – to meet the requirements and your budget.
Absolutely. Our company formation package is comprehensive – once your company is registered, we assist in applying for resident visas (investor/partner visas for owners and employment visas for staff). We coordinate medical tests, Emirates ID, and visa stamping to get you legally resident. We also guide you through opening a corporate bank account, introducing you to banking partners and preparing the required documents. These additional services ensure you’re fully operational with minimal hassle after the company setup.
