FAQs

Our team of experts fields common questions from people all over the globe about company formation in the UAE.

Fortunately, Dubai’s economy was deliberately engineered to boost local business growth and innovation. Through the DED, the UAE government not only promotes entrepreneurship but also ensures economy insurance activities, offering incentives like low corporate taxes and easy business setups.

This focus earns the UAE a 16th placement in the global Ease of Doing Business Index. With a dynamic economy, Dubai magnetizes various industries and, thanks to its strategic location, offers access to extensive markets spanning East and West. The city’s free zones, including DWTC, JAFZA, and RAKEZ, amplify opportunities, while initiatives like Scale2Dubai provide funding for scaling ventures.

From a high level, to start a business in Dubai, you’ll want to follow these steps:

  • Business Idea: Define your business idea and target market.
  • Business Plan: Draft a comprehensive plan detailing objectives, market analysis, and financial projections.
  • Legal Structure: Decide between Free Zone, Mainland, or Offshore company structures.
  • Trade Name: Pick a name compliant with the Department of Economic Development (DED) regulations.
  • Business License: Depending on your activities, apply for a commercial, professional, or industrial license.
  • Documentation: Submit required documents like passport, visa, and a No Objection Certificate (for expats) to the relevant authorities.
  • Office Space: Secure a physical address, essential for registration.
  • Corporate Bank Account: After getting your license, choose a bank that aligns with your business needs and open an account.
  • Visas: If hiring, process employee visas. The number is often determined by office size and license type.
  • Operational Setup: With administrative tasks done, set up operations and embark on your business journey.

    Note: Requirements might vary based on your specific new business setup, so make sure you thoroughly research the next steps for your chosen structure.
