Business Incorporation FAQs

Can foreigners own 100% of a UAE company?▼
Yes — the UAE now allows 100% foreign ownership for most business activities in both free zones and mainland. Some regulated activities may still require a local partner, but the vast majority of business types are open to full foreign ownership.
How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai?▼
Costs vary by structure. Free zone packages start from AED 5,500 annually, while mainland setups typically start around AED 15,000-20,000 including license, office, and initial visa costs. We provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes.
How long does the incorporation process take?▼
Free zone setups can be completed in 2-5 business days. Mainland incorporation typically takes 1-2 weeks. Visa processing adds an additional 1-2 weeks depending on the type and nationality.
Which free zone is best for my business?▼
It depends on your business activity, budget, and requirements. DMCC is ideal for commodities trading, DIFC for financial services, Dubai Internet City for tech companies, and IFZA for cost-effective general trading. We help you select the best fit.
Do I need to be in the UAE to set up a company?▼
Not necessarily. Many free zones allow remote incorporation with power of attorney arrangements. We can handle the entire process remotely, though in-person visits are needed for bank account opening and visa stamping.
