Overview

The right structure, in the right jurisdiction, the first time

Choosing between a Dubai mainland license, a free zone entity or an offshore structure affects your taxes, visas, banking and ability to trade. Our specialists analyze your business model first, then recommend the structure that fits, with full transparency on costs.

We work with licensed registrars such as Meydan and other authorities who execute the incorporation, while AICE advises on structure, prepares your documentation and coordinates the journey end to end, so you always know exactly what happens next.
