FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Insights into our premium services and how we can partner for your success.

What is the main difference between Mainland and Free Zone?

Mainland allows you to trade anywhere in the UAE and bid for government contracts, while Free Zones are ideal for 100% foreign ownership of import/export or professional services within specific zones.

Do I still need a UAE National Sponsor for a Mainland company?

With recent law changes, most commercial and industrial activities now allow 100% foreign ownership on the mainland without a local partner.

What licenses are most common for mainland setups?

The most common licenses are Commercial licenses (for trading), Professional licenses (for consultancy or services), and Industrial licenses (for manufacturing activities).

How long does it take to get a trade license?

Free Zone licenses can often be issued in 2–5 working days. Mainland licenses typically take 3–10 days, depending on required external government approvals.

What are the hidden costs of setting up a business?

Beyond the license fee, you should budget for office rent, visa cost, health insurance, and corporate bank account opening fees.

Is it mandatory to have a physical business premises for mainland license?

Yes, a physical office or approved business premises is mandatory, and tenancy contracts (such as Ejari in Dubai) are required for license approvals.

What documents are generally required for opening a UAE corporate bank account?

You’ll typically need company incorporation documents, trade license copies, proof of residency, passports of directors/shareholders, business plans, and company financials or 6 months of personal/corporate bank statements.

Are there minimum balance requirements for UAE corporate accounts?

Yes, most UAE banks require minimum balances, which vary significantly depending on the bank, account type, and specific business needs.

How many visas can I get on my license?

This depends on the size of your office (typically 1 visa per 9 sq. meters) or the specific "flexi-desk" package chosen in a Free Zone.

Can I sponsor my family under my business visa?

Yes, once your investor or employment visa is stamped, you can sponsor your spouse, children, and parents.

What is the threshold for the registering VAT and corporate tax in UAE?

You must register for VAT if your taxable supplies/imports exceeded AED 375,000 in the last 12 months or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. VAT will be 5% on your taxable supplies.

Is Corporate Tax registration mandatory?

Unlike VAT, registration is mandatory for all legal entities (Mainland and Free Zone), regardless of their profit levels. Even if your profit is zero or you qualify for a 0% rate, you must obtain a Corporate Tax Registration Number (TRN)
