Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to form a company in the UAE?

Usually 5–10 working days after your documents are submitted. IFZA free zone setups can take as little as 3 days. We confirm the exact timeline for your case at the consultation.

Do I need to be in the UAE to set up my company?

Free zone companies can usually be set up remotely. Mainland companies generally need an in-person visit for Emirates ID biometrics.

What is the difference between a mainland and a free zone company?

Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE without client restrictions. Free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits, but may need a local distributor to trade within the UAE.

Are there any hidden government fees?

No. Every quote is itemised, separating our professional fees from government fees, and both are fixed and confirmed in writing.

Can you help with corporate bank account opening?

Yes. Bank account assistance is included in our Business and Enterprise packages.
