Thinking of setting up in Dubai? Check out these 5 FAQ's.
Here are 5 of the most common questions we get asked.
Can foreigners really own a business in Dubai?
π Yes! You can have 100% ownership of your company in free zones, and in many mainland activities too. No local partner is required for most sectors anymore.
Do I need to move to Dubai to set up a company?
π Not at all. You can set up and run your business remotely. Many of our clients operate from the UK, Europe, or Asia while using Dubai as their tax-free hub. Aside from needing to be in the UAE for the formation itself, you are free to travel as you need thereafter.
How long does it take to set up?
π Very fast. Depending on the activity and free zone, it can be done in as little as 3β7 business days.
What about taxes?
π Personal income tax = 0%. Corporate tax is 0% up to AED 375k profit, and 9% above that, still one of the lowest in the world.
Can I get a visa through my company?
π Yes. Business owners can apply for a UAE residence visa, and you can also sponsor visas for staff and family if needed.
Bottom line: Dubai is one of the easiest, fastest, and most tax-friendly places in the world to build a business. Whether youβre a freelancer, startup, or established entrepreneur, the UAE gives you global reach with no heavy red tape and allows you the flexibility to actually grow and run your business.
