How long does UAE company formation take?+

Typically 3–10 working days for the licence, plus 2–3 weeks for the residence visa and Emirates ID.

Do I need to be in Dubai to start?+

No. Most steps run remotely. Bank account opening and Emirates ID biometrics require an in-person visit.

What's the difference between mainland and free zone?+

Mainland allows direct trade across the UAE market; free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, tax incentives, and sector-specific benefits.

Are government fees included in your price?+

No — government fees are pass-through and shown separately. Our service fee is our own consultancy fee.
