Common questions

The key details, explained clearly: setup route, timelines, pricing drivers, and post-licence support. Scan the answers, then reach out when you want a tailored recommendation.

What do you need from me to confirm pricing?

To confirm pricing accurately, send:

• Business activity + licence type
• Setup route: Free Zone or Mainland
• Where you will trade: UAE only, international, or both
• Shareholders: number, nationalities, UAE resident yes/no
• Visas: how many you need now (and any family visas later)
• Workspace: none, flexi-desk, office, warehouse
• Timeline: standard or urgent
• Any approvals: regulated activity yes/no

Send those 8 points on WhatsApp, we reply with a scoped quote + checklist.

How long does company formation usually take?

It depends on route, activity, and whether documents are ready.

• Free Zone licence: typically 1–10 working days
• Mainland licence: typically 7–21 working days

If you also need residency visa + Emirates ID, add time for:

• Medical fitness test
• Emirates ID biometrics

Send your activity + route, we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your case.

Free zone vs mainland, how do I choose?

Use this rule of thumb.

Choose Mainland if you:

• Need broad onshore trading across the UAE
• Expect onshore clients and wider commercial flexibility
• Might require activity-specific mainland approvals

Choose Free Zone if you:

• Want a faster, simpler setup path
• Operate international, remote, or in zone-friendly models
• Prefer packaged options for workspace and visas (zone-dependent)

What’s included in the starting price?

Your starting price covers the core setup items:

• Trade licence issuance
• MOA preparation
• Incorporation certificate
• Business consultation
• Dedicated relationship manager

Sometimes included (depends on package and route):

• Flexi-desk
• A visa

What affects the final price?

Final price changes based on:

• Jurisdiction choice: Free Zone authority vs Mainland authority
• Licence type + activity: complexity, approvals, restrictions
• Workspace requirement: flexi-desk vs office lease vs warehouse
• Visas: count and type (major multiplier)
• Add-ons: PRO support, document clearing, banking support, trademark, compliance

Can you help after the licence is issued?

Yes, we support “Day 2” operations, including:

• Renewals
• PRO services
• Residence visas
• Document clearing
• Bank account opening support (case-dependent)
• Trademark registration
• Compliance support (where applicable)

Can we do everything over WhatsApp and email?

Yes, for almost everything:

• Onboarding and requirements checklist
• Document collection and review
• Updates, approvals, and status tracking
• Payments and final confirmations

Two steps usually require in-person presence in the UAE:

• Medical fitness test (for residency visa)
• Emirates ID biometrics (fingerprints/photo)
