What's Included
The right structure, licensed and banked — handled end to end.
Mainland, free zone & offshore structuring
We help you choose the right jurisdiction and licence for your actual business model, not the most popular one. Activity, ownership, visas and tax position all factor into the recommendation.
Trade license & authority registration
End-to-end licensing with your chosen authority: applications, approvals, establishment card and immigration file. We manage the process; you sign where needed.
Shareholder & MoA / AoA drafting
Proper structuring of shareholding and constitutional documents — memorandum and articles of association drafted to reflect the real agreement between parties.
Corporate bank account opening support
We prepare the full documentation pack and liaise with banks to get your corporate account opened. Bank compliance is the hardest part of formation in the UAE today — we know what each bank asks for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mainland vs free zone vs offshore — which is right for me?
It depends on where your customers are, whether you need visas, and your tax position: mainland allows unrestricted UAE trading, free zones offer sector ecosystems and simpler setup, and offshore suits holding structures with no UAE operations. We recommend based on your facts, not a template.
What are the timeline and cost drivers?
A straightforward free-zone licence can complete in under a week; mainland setups with external approvals take longer. Cost drivers are the jurisdiction, number of activities, visa packages and office requirements — we quote the full all-in cost upfront, with no surprise add-ons.
What about visa eligibility?
Most mainland and free-zone licences include visa eligibility, with the quota depending on the package and office size. We confirm your exact entitlement during the consultation and process the establishment card and entry permits as part of the setup.
Why does bank account opening need support?
UAE banks apply strict compliance checks: business-model proof, source-of-funds documentation and verification calls or visits, and rejections are common for incomplete packs. We prepare the documentation the way each bank expects it and manage the follow-ups.
