Questions
Before you get started
Can't see your question? Ask the Corporate desk on WhatsApp and we'll answer the same day.
Mainland or free zone: which is right for me?
It depends mainly on your business activities: what you'll do, where you'll trade, who your customers are, and whether any activity is restricted to one or the other. Mainland gives more flexibility to trade across the UAE, while free zones suit many international and service businesses. We compare both for your activities during the consultation and recommend the best fit.
How long does company setup take?
Many licences are issued within days once documents are complete; visas follow after. We give you a realistic timeline for your case up front.
Do I need to be in the UAE?
Much of the process can start remotely. Some steps, such as biometrics and medicals for visas, need you here, and we plan these around your travel.
How can I pay?
By card through a secure Telr payment link, by bank transfer or by cash deposit. Card processing charges may apply, and they differ for UAE and international cards. Tabby is available for selected payments only, such as the government payment voucher issued for a new trade licence or a licence renewal; your invoice will show which items qualify. We confirm any charges before you pay.
Can you help after the licence is issued?
Yes. We handle renewals, visa changes, accounting, VAT and corporate tax so your company stays in good standing.
