How it works

Your company, set up in four steps

  1. 1

    Choose the structure

    We compare mainland and free zone options for your activity, visas and budget, and recommend one.

  2. 2

    Reserve and apply

    We reserve your trade name, prepare the documents and submit the licence application.

  3. 3

    Licence and visas

    Once the licence is issued we process establishment cards, investor visas and Emirates IDs.

  4. 4

    Bank and books

    We support your bank account application and set up your accounting so you can start invoicing.

What founders say

Founders who launched with us

I moved from London with a laptop and a plan. Three weeks later I had a licence, a visa and a bank account in progress.

James
Founder, Software consultancy

They told me which free zone suited my trading activity and why. No upselling, just a clear comparison.

Aisha
Managing director, Import and export company

Our renewals and visas used to catch us by surprise. Now we get a reminder a month early and they handle the rest.

Vikram
Operations manager, Facilities services company

Questions

Common questions

A mainland licence lets you trade anywhere in the UAE and bid for government work. A free zone suits international trade and services, and is often faster to set up. We compare both for your activity.
