Company registration — UAE
Turnkey UAE company registration — Free Zone or Mainland: license, legal address, tax registration (5% VAT, 9% corporate tax), residency visas, Emirates ID, and a bank account.
What our clients face
Free Zone or Mainland
The zone determines your license type, taxes, and banking access. Mainland allows business throughout the Emirate within the scope of the license, but requires founders' personal presence during registration and an office of at least 13 m². A Free Zone — there are more than 50 across the country — can be opened remotely. A mistake at this step is expensive to fix after registration.
Taxes and residency
The UAE tax system is one of the most favourable: VAT is 5% and corporate tax is 9%. But the company must be properly registered with the tax authorities, and founders and employees need residency visas and Emirates ID to operate fully in the country.
Bank account
A company without an account cannot operate, and opening one is harder than registering the company: each bank has its own requirements and compliance procedures. Timelines run from 3 weeks to 3 months for Mainland companies and 1 to 4 months for Free Zone.
Our approach
Incorporation
We help you choose between Free Zone and Mainland, select the zone, business activity, and license to match your business model. For most activities, 100% foreign ownership is permitted — no local partner required. We provide a legal address.
Tax setup
We register the company for corporate tax and VAT and advise on the IP Box regime where applicable.
Residency
We arrange residency visas — Golden, Investor, Work, Freelance — and Emirates ID for founders and employees.
Bank account and ongoing support
We select banks where approval is realistic for your profile, prepare the compliance package, and guide the process until the account is active. After that — accounting, tax, and legal support from one team.
