Frequently asked questions
Everything founders usually ask before starting. Can't find your answer? Our advisors reply within the hour.
Most free zone companies are formed within 3–5 working days once documents are ready. Mainland setups and certain regulated activities may take a little longer depending on approvals.
Yes. Free zone companies have always allowed 100% foreign ownership, and most mainland commercial and professional activities now permit full foreign ownership too. We advise on the best fit for your activity.
No. We can begin your company formation remotely. A short visit is usually only required for the medical, Emirates ID biometrics and bank account verification, which we schedule efficiently for you.
Our quotes are all-inclusive of our professional service charges. Government and authority fees are itemised transparently so you always see exactly what goes to the authority versus our service.
Absolutely. We assess your eligibility as an investor, entrepreneur, skilled professional or talent, then compile and submit your application for the 10-year renewable Golden Visa.
Yes. We offer ongoing PRO and compliance support — license renewals, visa renewals, Emirates ID, attestation and government liaison — so your business stays fully compliant year after year.
