    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone company setup?

    Mainland companies (DED licensed) can trade freely within UAE, take government contracts, and have no restrictions on business location. Free Zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, potential tax benefits, and simplified setup but are generally restricted from direct UAE market trading without a local agent. Recent mainland reforms now allow 100% foreign ownership for most activities.

     

    How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai?

    Costs vary by jurisdiction and requirements. Free Zone packages typically start from AED 15,000-25,000 including one visa. Mainland LLC setup starts from AED 18,000-25,000 plus office space costs. Premium Free Zones like DMCC and DIFC have higher fees but offer additional benefits.

     

    How long does company formation take in UAE?

    Free Zone company formation can be completed in 1-3 business days for simple setups. Mainland LLC formation typically takes 5-10 business days. Visa processing adds another 7-14 days. Regulated activities (healthcare, education, food) may require additional approvals extending the timeline.

     

    Can I get a UAE residence visa through my company?

    Yes, company owners are eligible for investor/partner visas (typically 2-3 years). Depending on your visa quota, you can also sponsor employees. Those investing AED 2 million+ or meeting other criteria may qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa.

     

    Do I need a physical office for my business in UAE?

    Mainland companies require physical office space with an Ejari tenancy contract. Many Free Zones offer flexible options including flexi-desks, virtual offices, and shared workspaces that satisfy the office requirement at lower cost. Your visa quota may depend on office size.
