Company setup costs vary depending on the jurisdiction and license type. Trade license only starts from AED 4,888, license with 1 visa from AED 10,800, mainland from AED 7,000, and industrial/manufacturing from AED 10,000. Our transparent pricing includes all government fees, so there are no hidden costs. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific requirements.
No, you don't need to be physically present. We offer complete remote setup services. You can provide documents via email or courier, and we handle all government submissions on your behalf. Your trade license can be delivered to you anywhere in the world.
The basic requirements are: passport copy of all shareholders, passport-size photos (white background), and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement). For some activities, additional documents like CV or educational certificates may be required. Our team will guide you through the exact requirements for your specific case.
Free zone company setup typically takes 2-3 days after receiving all required documents. Mainland setups take 2-4 weeks. Visa processing adds an additional 7-10 days. We also offer express services for urgent requirements.
Yes, we provide bank account opening assistance as part of our packages. We have relationships with multiple UAE banks and can help you choose the best option for your business. Most clients successfully open accounts within 1-2 weeks. We guide you through KYC requirements and documentation.
Annual costs include trade license renewal (typically AED 3,000-8,000 depending on the free zone), visa renewal (AED 3,000-5,000 per visa), and optional services like accounting or PRO support. We provide clear renewal cost estimates upfront so you can budget accordingly.
Yes, company owners can obtain investor/partner visas through their UAE company. Most free zone packages include visa quotas (typically 1-6 visas depending on office size). Family sponsorship is also possible. The visa is valid for 2 years and is renewable.
Free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, tax benefits, and simplified setup, but can only trade within the free zone or internationally (not directly on UAE mainland). Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE but traditionally required a local sponsor (though this is changing for many activities). We help you choose based on your business model.
