Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I set up a business in Dubai on my own?
Yes, you certainly can register your company in Dubai independently. However, navigating over 50 jurisdictions, choosing the correct trade licence, and handling extensive paperwork can be overwhelming and time-consuming without expert guidance, especially if you are outside the UAE. Our experts will help you choose the best solution for your business requirements to avoid costly mistakes down the line and to maintain full flexibility during the future stages of your business growth. We also act as a one-stop-shop for any further business support you require, such as bank account opening, accounting, marketing, compliance and much more
With the right support, you can complete the company formation process in as little as 24 hours, depending on the business type and required documentation.
Most jurisdictions don’t require your physical presence when starting the process for your business registration in Dubai. Company formation, documentation, and licensing can often be handled remotely through a service agent such as G12. However, certain processes like opening a corporate bank account will still require your personal appearance.
Free Zones offer 100% foreign ownership, flexible profit repatriation, and zero duties, ideal for businesses operating internationally. Mainland setups allow unrestricted business activity across the UAE and unlimited visa options, great for local market operations.
No, you do not need a Dubai business license to live and work in Dubai. You can obtain a free zone license from any of the seven emirates and apply for UAE residency through it. The main limitation is that you cannot open a physical store or office outside your designated free zone or in the mainland. However, you are allowed to offer service-based activities (like consulting) outside the free zone, and you can sell products or services online without restrictions.
The UAE has over 50 free zones, each offering unique advantages. Some of the most popular include Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), Fujairah Creative City (FCC), Sharjah Publishing City (SPC), Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP), Sharjah Media City (Shams), Ajman Free Zone, IFZA Dubai, and Meydan Free Zone Dubai.
Key documents typically include passport copies, business plan details, and a completed application form. Additional paperwork may be required based on business activities and chosen jurisdiction.
Opening a corporate account involves meeting specific compliance requirements. Having a local partner familiar with banking regulations can simplify and expedite the process significantly.

Dubai offers 3 primary types of licences based on your business activities:

  • Commercial Licence: For businesses involved in trading goods and services.
  • Professional Licence: For individuals and companies offering specialized services like consulting or accounting.
  • Industrial Licence: For companies engaged in manufacturing or industrial production.

These licences are regulated by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Depending on your location (Mainland, Free Zone, Offshore), licensing options and rules can vary. It’s crucial to match your activities correctly when applying.

Dubai offers various legal structures tailored to different needs:

  • Free Zone Company: 100% foreign-owned, no deductions, and simplified regulations.
  • Branch/Representative Office: Extensions of foreign companies without separate legal identity.
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC): Ideal for small to mid-sized businesses, offering flexibility and limited liability.
  • Private & Public Shareholding Companies: Suitable for larger ventures, with liability tied to share capital.
  • Sole Proprietorship: Owned by one individual, simple setup but full personal liability.
  • Civil Company: Designed for professionals like consultants and lawyers, allowing full foreign ownership.
  • Offshore Company: Established for international business outside the UAE market.
