Dubai's economy fosters new businesses through its tax-friendly environment, strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and supportive government policies aimed at promoting economic diversification and growth.
The steps typically involve choosing a business activity, selecting a legal structure, registering the trade name, obtaining approvals from relevant authorities, preparing required documentation, securing a business license, and opening a corporate bank account.
Factors such as business activity, target market, proximity to suppliers and customers, accessibility, and cost considerations influence choosing between mainland and free zone locations in Dubai.
Mainland businesses allow for more flexibility in terms of business activities and market access within the UAE. Free zone businesses offer 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and streamlined procedures but have restrictions on operating within the UAE mainland.
Dubai offers licenses based on business activities, including commercial, industrial, professional, and tourism licenses, each tailored to specific requirements and regulations.
Requirements include obtaining approvals from relevant authorities, meeting specific industry regulations, securing a local sponsor or service agent for mainland businesses, and adhering to labor and immigration laws.
Local service agents are required for mainland businesses and act as intermediaries with government authorities. They do not have any involvement in business operations or profits.
Legal structures include Limited Liability Company (LLC), Joint Stock Company (Public and Private), Sole Proprietorship, Branch of a Foreign Company, and others, each offering varying degrees of liability, ownership, and operational flexibility.
Yes, in designated free zones, foreign investors can have 100% ownership of their businesses. In mainland Dubai, complete foreign ownership is possible in certain sectors through specific arrangements and regulations.
Legal forms and documents must be prepared according to UAE regulations, often requiring notarization, translation, and attestation by relevant authorities to ensure legality and validity.
Business licenses in Dubai typically require annual renewal, involving payment of renewal fees, submission of updated documentation, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Foreign company branches in Dubai must operate within their licensed scope of activities and appoint a local service agent. They are subject to specific regulations governing operations and financial reporting.
Yes, most business setups in Dubai require a physical office space. Free zone businesses often provide flexible office solutions, while mainland businesses need a leased office or shared workspace.
Dubai's digital infrastructure supports businesses with efficient online services for company registration, licensing, visa processing, and regulatory compliance, enhancing ease of doing business.
Consultants provide expertise in navigating legal requirements, selecting the optimal business structure, facilitating documentation, liaising with authorities, and ensuring compliance throughout the business setup process.
Opening a corporate bank account involves selecting a bank, preparing required documentation (business license, passport copies, etc.), meeting bank-specific criteria, and complying with UAE Central Bank regulations.
Share capital requirements vary based on business activities and legal structures. Some business types may require minimum share capital as specified by UAE regulations.
Companies in Dubai can sponsor employment visas for their employees, requiring submission of visa applications, medical tests, Emirates ID registration, and fulfilling specific employment contract terms.
The golden visa offers long-term residency to investors, entrepreneurs, specialized talents, researchers, and outstanding students. It provides residency benefits beyond regular visas, including family sponsorship and access to public services.
UAE free zones vary in terms of industry focus, business activities allowed, ownership regulations, incentives (such as tax exemptions and customs benefits), infrastructure, and operational support services.
