Company formation typically takes 3–7 working days for free zone companies, and 7–14 days for mainland companies, depending on the business activity and jurisdiction.
Yes. Foreign investors can own 100% of free zone companies. For mainland companies, the 2021 Companies Law amendments also allow 100% foreign ownership for most commercial activities.
Mainland companies can trade freely anywhere in the UAE and internationally. Free zone companies benefit from 100% foreign ownership, zero import/export duties, and simplified setup, but may need a mainland partner to trade within the UAE.
In many cases, the process can be completed remotely with notarized and attested documents. However, some jurisdictions may require your physical presence for certain steps.
Typically: passport copies of shareholders and directors, proof of address, business plan summary, and completed application forms. Our team guides you through every document requirement.
Costs vary based on the jurisdiction, business activity, and number of visas. Free zone packages start from AED 5,750/year. Mainland costs depend on the DED activity. Contact us for a free, personalized quote.
