We handle everything from trade name reservation to bank account opening, so you can focus on running your business — not chasing paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does company formation take? Dubai mainland: 7–14 working days with all documents ready. Free zones: 3–7 days. Offshore: 2–5 days.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a UAE company? Yes — for mainland companies, the 2021 Commercial Companies Law amendments removed the local shareholder requirement for most activities. Free zones and offshore have always permitted 100% foreign ownership.
What is the minimum capital requirement? Most activities have no minimum capital requirement. Some regulated activities (finance, insurance, healthcare) have specific requirements — we advise on this during consultation.
Do I need a physical office? Mainland DED requires an Ejari-registered tenancy contract. Free zones offer flexi-desk and virtual office options. We help source the right space.
