Free Zone licenses are issued in 1–5 working days. Mainland licenses take 7–14 working days depending on your activity and approvals required. We'll give you an exact timeline once we know your activity.

Yes. Free Zones have always allowed 100% foreign ownership. Most Mainland activities now allow it too, since the 2021 ownership reforms. A small number of strategic or regulated activities still require a local partner. We'll tell you which category your activity falls into.

Passport copy, passport-size photo, and proof of address as a baseline. Some activities need additional approvals or qualifications. Send us your activity and we'll send you the exact list.

Most Mainland businesses require physical office space or a flexi-desk. Free Zones often offer cost-effective virtual desk or flexi-desk options depending on the zone and activity.

Free Zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, tax benefits, and faster setup — ideal for international or online businesses. Mainland companies can trade freely within the UAE market, hire without quota restrictions, and take on government contracts. The right choice depends on who your customers are.

Not directly. A Free Zone company needs a local distributor or a dual license to sell to mainland customers. We handle dual license applications if that's the route you need.

Offshore companies are for holding assets and conducting international business. They cannot trade inside the UAE and don't carry visa eligibility. They're suited for investors and holding structures, not for running a local operation.

We assist with account opening at major UAE banks including Emirates NBD, Dubai Islamic Bank, ADCB, Mashreq, and RAKBANK. Approval timelines depend on the bank's own compliance review. We handle the preparation and introduction.

Penalties start immediately — there is no grace period on Mainland licenses. After 6 months, visa renewals get blocked. After 12 months, the license can be cancelled. Start your renewal 30 days before expiry. We handle renewals end to end.

Yes. Both Mainland and Free Zone companies can hire foreign employees. You need an employment visa for each staff member. We handle the full visa and Emirates ID process.

The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year residency visa available to investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals. Setting up a qualifying business can make you eligible. We can advise on whether your company structure qualifies.

PRO (Public Relations Officer) services handle all your government transactions — visa typing, Emirates ID, labour permits, ministry approvals, and more. If you don't have someone who knows the counters and the processes, you need PRO support. We provide it.
