COMPANY FORMATION

The right structure
for your business.

We plan Free Zone and Mainland company formation across the UAE around your business model and activities. An initial consultation and know-your-customer (KYC) review help us identify suitable jurisdictions, activity codes and licences. We present multiple suitable alternatives with a clear comparison of scope, costs and differences.

A SUITABLE JURISDICTION

All Free Zones

Each Free Zone offers distinct benefits and features. Our experienced consultants assess your activities, target market, premises and staffing needs to identify the most suitable jurisdiction and licensed activity.

LOCAL MARKET OPERATIONS

Mainland formation

We assess activities, location, licensing and relevant approvals around your UAE customers and operating plans.

CLEAR SCOPE, TRANSPARENT COSTS

Comparable proposals

Government fees, NAV service fees and any third-party costs are shown separately, with initial and ongoing costs explained.

WHERE WE SUPPORT COMPANY FORMATION

We advise on all Free Zones and Mainland options across the UAE. Our experienced consultants assess each jurisdiction’s distinct benefits to identify the Free Zone and licensed activity best suited to your business and needs.

Our lawyer partner brings a legal perspective alongside practical business experience. We clarify the jurisdiction and licensed activities together and include special permits and external approvals from the outset. UAE legal advice and procedures are coordinated with authorised local lawyers.

BUSINESS AND LIFE IN DUBAI

Opportunities for your business. A new start for your family.

PERSONAL INCOME TAX

No personal income tax

The UAE does not levy personal income tax. Business income and any tax obligations in Türkiye or other countries need to be assessed separately.

FREE ZONE BENEFITS

0% on qualifying income

Free Zone companies meeting the relevant conditions may benefit from 0% corporate tax on qualifying income. We assess this alongside your activities and company structure.

FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Residency through your company

Setting up a company in Dubai can provide a route to investor or partner residency, subject to eligibility, followed by family sponsorship options for your spouse and children.

Under the standard corporate tax regime, the first AED 375,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0% and the excess at 9%. Free Zone status alone does not establish a tax exemption; residency also requires approval from the relevant authorities.

From activity selection to operating your business.

Support beyond company formation.

Accounting services

We support your company’s financial recordkeeping with regular bookkeeping, monthly accounting and financial reporting, alongside payroll and audit preparation.

Bank account opening

We help prepare the documents and KYC file for your corporate bank account application and follow up on the application and requests for additional information. Account opening is subject to the bank’s assessment.

Business connections and introductions

We help you connect with suitable business partners, suppliers and service providers to support the growth of your commercial activities.

Administrative support services

We support your company’s day-to-day operations with document follow-up, application processes and other administrative tasks.
