You can establish your business in the UAE Mainland for maximum operational flexibility, leverage the benefits of a Free Zone setup if you specialize in a specific industry or seek cost-effective solutions, or consider an offshore setup to take advantage of the UAE’s thriving business environment from anywhere in the world.

Prepare all your registration documents, including your Application Form, Memorandum of Association, Certificate of Incorporation, Bank and Residency Statements, and more. Requirements differ depending on the license type and jurisdiction.

Before relocating to the UAE, it is essential to apply for the necessary visas for yourself, your employees, and any dependents, if required. The specific visa options and the availability of visas for your staff and dependents will depend on the jurisdiction you have selected for your business.  

A corporate bank account is necessary to conduct business in the UAE. You can choose from several national, international, and digital banks, depending on your financial requirements.
