Have a question?

Do I need to fly to the UAE?

Company registration can often start remotely and much is handled online. However, physical presence in the UAE is usually required for visa processing, Emirates ID biometrics and bank-account opening.

How long does a turnkey setup take?

Most companies are registered within [3–7 days]; the bank account and visas add [1–3 weeks]. Exact timing depends on your jurisdiction and activity.

What's included in the price — are there hidden fees?

You get a transparent, itemized quote upfront. Some government approvals are priced individually — we flag those before you commit.

Free Zone or Mainland — which should I choose?

It depends on where you'll do business. Free Zone suits IT, services and export with 100% ownership; Mainland suits trading with the local market and government contracts. We'll recommend the best fit on a free call.

Can you help with the bank account?

We coordinate your account opening with partner banks. UAE banks apply strict compliance checks (KYC, business profile, sometimes a business plan), so we prepare your file to meet their requirements.

Can I get visas for me and my family?

Company owners and employees can obtain UAE residence visas (with Emirates ID and medical fitness). We provide full document and application support for you and your family.

What taxes will I pay?

0% personal income tax. Corporate tax is 0% up to AED 375,000 profit and 9% above; qualifying Free Zone income can remain at 0%. We set you up fully compliant.

Can I pay in installments or crypto?

Yes — you can pay in stages, and we accept [cards, bank transfer, crypto].

What documents do you need from me?

Usually just your passport and a few details — we prepare and verify everything else.

What happens if an application is rejected?

We prepare your file to minimize that risk and advise on next steps. Refund or re-application terms are set out in your agreement.
