FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a free zone and a mainland company?

A mainland company can operate anywhere in the UAE and serve the local market without restrictions. A free zone company offers 100% foreign ownership, simplified setup and cost-effective options such as flexi-desk and virtual offices, but, unlike a mainland company, is limited in serving the local market.

How long does company registration take?

With fast-track registration, your business can be up and running in as little as a few days. Timing depends on the activity and the approvals required.

What taxes apply to a free zone company?

9% corporate tax on annual income over 100,000$ and 0% personal income tax. Our team will confirm the rules that apply to your case during the consultation.

What documents are needed for a visa?

You typically need a passport, photographs and insurance; you will also complete a medical test and fingerprints. We guide you through every step.

Can you help me open a personal or corporate bank account?

Yes. We provide expert assistance for both personal and corporate bank accounts in the UAE to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
