FAQ
You can register as a Mainland company, Free Zone company, or Offshore company. Each has its own legal structure, benefits, and limitations depending on your business goals and operational needs.
For most mainland businesses, a UAE national sponsor may be required unless your activity is on the list of sectors eligible for 100% foreign ownership. Free zone and offshore companies typically allow full foreign ownership.
The timeline depends on the type of company and the specific authority involved, but setup can be completed in as little as 5 to 10 working days for Free Zone or Mainland entities.
Common documents include passport copies, visa or entry stamp, business activity details, and proof of address. Additional documents may be required depending on the entity type and business activity.
Yes. Most company setups allow you to apply for investor and employee visas. The number of visas depends on your business activity and the size of your office or flexi-desk.
Capital requirements vary. Some Free Zones have no minimum capital, while others may require AED 10,000–50,000. Offshore companies often do not require capital deposits.
Free Zone companies cannot directly operate in the mainland market unless they appoint a local distributor or open a mainland branch.
Yes. Many Free Zones offer 0% corporate and personal income tax, full repatriation of profits, and VAT exemptions in specific sectors.
The right structure depends on your business model, target market, ownership preferences, visa needs, and budget. Consulting with a business advisor can help determine the best fit.
Mainland businesses require a physical office. Most Free Zones offer flexible workspace options like flexi-desks or shared offices. Offshore companies typically do not require office space in the UAE.
