Overview
How UAE company setup actually works
You choose between mainland (licensed by the Department of Economy and Tourism), a free zone authority, or an offshore jurisdiction — each suits different businesses.
100% foreign ownership is permitted for most activities across the UAE today.
Setup runs through approvals in sequence: trade name, initial approval, MOA, licence issuance, establishment card.
Company formation typically includes eligibility for UAE residence visas, depending on the licence package.
The UAE now has a federal corporate tax regime — companies generally need to register with the Federal Tax Authority.

Honest mainland vs free zone advice
Mainland, free zone or offshore — each has real trade-offs on visas, banking, ownership and cost. We recommend based on your business, not our commission.
Every approval in the right sequence
Trade name, initial approval, MOA, licence, establishment card, visas — the sequence matters, and we run it in order.
Bank account support
We coordinate the account opening with banks that actually onboard your business type, with the paperwork they expect.
Post-setup compliance covered
Corporate tax registration, VAT where applicable, and the annual licence renewal — handled so nothing lapses.
Documents

If a founder or investor is outside India
Foreign ownership is possible in many sectors, but it adds document authentication, banking and FEMA work. Set the route before funds move.
Plan before you start
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Confirm the Indian resident director arrangement
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing
- Allow time for apostilled or consularised documents
Plan for after setup
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early
