Choose the right structure

Free Zone

100% ownership, ideal for international, e-commerce, consulting and tech businesses. Some mainland activity needs an authorised route or permit.

Mainland

Trade directly in the UAE onshore market — retail, customer-facing and domestic B2B.

Offshore

A holding/structuring vehicle for assets and international business — not a licence to operate inside the UAE market.

What we need from you

✓Passport copies for all shareholders
✓Proof of address
✓A short business plan / activity description
✓Source-of-funds documentation (for banking)
✓Passport photos and, where applicable, existing visa/Emirates ID details

Common pitfalls

Choosing the wrong jurisdiction

Picking free zone vs mainland before you know your customers and banking needs is the most expensive early mistake — it can mean re-licensing later.

An activity that doesn't match the licence

If your licensed activity does not match what you actually do, banking and compliance get harder. We align this from the start.

Underestimating the bank account

Formation is fast; the bank account is where most people get stuck. We prepare the dossier in parallel so it does not stall.

Frequently asked

Real questions from real calls.

If you sell to UAE customers and want to invoice without a local agent, mainland. If you sell internationally, want 100% repatriation and lower costs, free zone. We give a recommendation in writing on the first call.
