What is Dubai Company Formation?
Dubai Company Formation is the process of registering a business in the UAE, either in a Free Zone or on the Mainland. It involves choosing a business activity, obtaining a trade license from the relevant authority (e.g., DMCC Free Zone or Dubai DED), and fulfilling visa and office requirements. This process establishes a legal entity allowing you to operate in the UAE and internationally.
Who needs this service?
This service is for international entrepreneurs and businesses wanting to leverage Dubai as a tax-efficient global hub. It's ideal for trading companies, SaaS and tech firms targeting global markets, consultants, and those seeking a UAE residence visa for themselves and their families through company ownership.
What is the cost range?
Costs vary significantly by jurisdiction. Free Zone setups start from ~AED 12,000 for a zero-visa license and increase with visas and office space. Mainland setups are generally more expensive. Annual renewal fees for the trade license are a recurring cost.
DIY vs. Outsourcing to YourLegal?
DIY formation in the UAE is extremely difficult due to complex documentation, in-person requirements, and the need to navigate multiple government portals in Arabic. Outsourcing to YourLegal is standard practice. We manage the entire process, advise on the best jurisdiction, and handle all government interactions, saving you time and ensuring a successful setup.
