How we work

How it works

  1. 01. Scoping call

    A 30-minute call about your business, how many visas you need, where you live and where your clients pay from. We suggest one or two options with a full cost breakdown.

  2. 02. Name and activities

    We check the trade name against regulator rules and pick activity codes that will not get in the way of opening a bank account.

  3. 03. Documents and filing

    We collect passport copies and you sign the articles and application online. We file the pack with the registrar on your behalf.

  4. 04. License and corporate documents

    We obtain the license, certificate of incorporation and articles, send you scans and hand over originals in person or by courier.

  5. 05. Visas and banking

    We start the establishment card, visas, Emirates ID and bank account preparation, and stay with you for renewals.

FAQ

FAQ

01Can I set up remotely?

Yes, most free zones register companies online. You need to be in the UAE for the medical test and biometrics for your visa, and usually for the bank.

02Do I need an office?

A flexi desk or virtual office from the zone package is enough to start. A physical office is needed if you want more visas than the package allows.

03Can I work with clients inside the UAE?

A free zone company operates inside its zone and outside the UAE. Working with mainland clients needs a distributor or an additional permit, which we cover on the call.

04What taxes does the company pay?

Corporate Tax at 9% on profit above AED 375,000, with 0% possible on qualifying income for a qualifying free zone person. VAT at 5% once turnover exceeds AED 375,000 a year.

05What does annual renewal include?

License renewal, workspace lease and visas where needed. We quote renewal costs before you register.

06Will a bank open an account for a new company?

Yes, if the activity is clear, the source of funds is documented and there is a real link to the UAE. We prepare the pack in advance and match you to a bank.
