What we handle end-to-end.
Assessment of free zone vs mainland, entity type (LLC, branch, FZ-LLC, FZE), and optimal emirate — matched to your business activities and ownership requirements.
Preparation and submission of all documentation required for DED (mainland) or free zone licence application, including Memorandum of Association preparation.
Employment visa and residency applications for shareholders, directors, and employees — including entry permits, medical testing, and Emirates ID registration.
Support for business bank account applications across UAE banks — including document preparation, KYC compliance, and liaison with bank relationship managers.
Support for Ejari registration (mainland) and virtual or physical office arrangements for free zone entities, meeting the regulatory address requirements for your licence.
Guidance on WPS registration, Emiratisation obligations, UBO disclosure, VAT registration, and corporate tax registration requirements following incorporation.
How an engagement works.
Confirm the target business activities, ownership structure, and preferred jurisdiction. Recommend the entity type and free zone or mainland setup.
Prepare and collect all required documentation — shareholder documents, MOA drafts, and any parent company authentication requirements.
Submit the licence application and manage government authority correspondence through to licence issuance.
Process employment visas and initiate corporate bank account applications in parallel with or following licence issuance.
Deliver a complete setup checklist covering all compliance obligations, renewal dates, and ongoing requirements for the entity.
