Answers from our consultants, and if yours isn't here, WhatsApp us and you'll hear back the same day.
How do UAE free zones differ from one another?
Each free zone has its own permitted activities, fee structure, visa quotas and office requirements. SHAMS is the most affordable for media and services; RAKEZ suits trading and light industry; Meydan gives you a Dubai address with general trading. We match the zone to your activity, not the other way around.
Can I start a business in Dubai without a physical office?
Yes. Most free zone packages include a flexi-desk or lease agreement that satisfies the office requirement, you can run the company remotely and upgrade to a physical office whenever you're ready.
What does your PRO service include?
Document attestation, legal translation, government approvals, labour and immigration processing, and license renewals, a dedicated PRO handles your government paperwork so you never stand in a queue.
How does the bank account opening work?
We prepare your compliance file (business plan, source of funds, expected flows) and introduce you to UAE banks whose risk appetite matches your profile, significantly improving approval odds and turnaround time.
What's involved in renewing my license?
Renewal is annual. We track your expiry, prepare the renewal file, settle government fees on your approval, and handle any activity or shareholder changes at the same time.
Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Dubai?
Yes. All UAE free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, and since the Commercial Companies Law reforms, most mainland activities do too, no local sponsor needed. We confirm the ownership rules for your specific activity during the free consultation.
How long does it take to set up a company?
Free zone licenses are typically issued in 2 to 5 working days once documents are in. Mainland setups take slightly longer due to external approvals. Visa stamping and bank account opening usually complete within 2 to 4 weeks of the license.
