Company Formation in the UAE — Mainland & Free Zones
We plan your structure, prepare compliant documents, and coordinate approvals so you receive a business licence with minimal back-and-forth—whether on the mainland or in a free zone.
Where to set up?
Mainland (DED/DET – Emirate economy departments)
Best if you’ll trade anywhere in the UAE and work directly with the local market, government tenders, and on-shore clients. Core steps typically include: choose activities & legal form → reserve trade name → initial approval → external approvals (if required) → MOA/LSA → lease/Ejari → licence issuance.
Free Zones (e.g., DMCC, RAKEZ, …)
Best for 100% foreign ownership, simplified visas, and industry hubs. Typical flow: pre-approval → docs & payment → sign/incorporate → choose office solution → licence/establishment card. DMCC+1
Our end-to-end scope (what’s included)
- Requirements mapping (activities, shareholding, visas, office type)
- Name check & reservation
- Drafting MOA & resolutions; translation & notarisation where needed
- Initial approval & external approvals (if your activity requires it)
- Lease/flexi/desk options (Ejari or free-zone facility)
