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 add visas later?

Yes, you can upgrade the package at renewal or buy extra quota during the year.

02How much is renewal?

Renewal is usually close to the year-one price without one-off registration fees. We quote it upfront.

03Do I need to visit the UAE?

Company registration is remote. The visa requires a visit for the medical test and biometrics, usually 3-5 days.

04Can I switch zones later?

You can re-domicile or open a new company. It costs more than choosing right first time, so we compare options upfront.
