Business Setup Services
Launch Your Business in the UAE with Confidence
Setting up a business in the UAE requires navigating a choice of jurisdictions: Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore. Each offering distinct advantages in terms of ownership, scope of activity, and tax benefits. We provide end-to-end support, from selecting the right legal structure to obtaining trade licenses and visa processing, ensuring a seamless entry into the market.
Why this matters
The UAE offers over 40 Free Zones and a competitive Mainland environment. Recent changes allow 100% foreign ownership in many mainland sectors. Choosing the wrong jurisdiction can limit your business scope or increase costs. We analyze your business model to recommend the most optimal path.
