FAQ
Common questions answered.
How long does it take to set up a company in Dubai?
Standard mainland formation takes 5–7 working days. Free zone setup ranges from 3–10 days depending on jurisdiction. VIP express options can accelerate this timeline significantly.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Dubai mainland company?
Yes. The UAE amended its Commercial Companies Law to allow 100% foreign ownership across hundreds of commercial and professional activities without a local sponsor requirement.
What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone?
Mainland companies (licensed under DED) can trade freely across the UAE with no geographic restrictions. Free Zone companies offer specific tax incentives and industry hubs but may have limitations on direct local trade.
Do I need a physical office to set up a company?
Most mainland formations require a tenancy contract (Ejari). Free zones often offer flexi-desk and virtual office options. Our team manages the tenancy process on your behalf.
