Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the different types of business setup options available in the UAE?
The UAE offers three main types of company formation options: Mainland, Free Zone, and Offshore. Each has its own advantages in terms of ownership, operational flexibility, and taxation.
What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone company setup?
Mainland companies can operate anywhere in the UAE and take on government contracts. Free Zone companies offer tax benefits, 100% foreign ownership, and simplified procedures, but are limited to operating within the Free Zone or exporting services/products.
Which Free Zone is best for starting a business in the UAE?
It depends on your business activity and budget. Popular zones include:
- DMCC: Dubai Multi Commodities Centre
- IFZA: International Free Zone Authority
- RAKEZ: Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone
- DIFC: Dubai International Financial Centre
Do I need a local sponsor to start a business in UAE Mainland?
As per the latest reforms, many business activities now allow 100% foreign ownership in the Mainland UAE. However, certain strategic sectors may still require a local Emirati partner or service agent.
How long does it take to set up a company in the UAE?
Company formation timelines vary by zone but typically range from 3 to 10 working days, provided all documents are in order.
What documents are required to register a company in the UAE?
Basic documents to register a company in the UAE include:
- Passport copies of shareholders
- Visa copies
- Proof of address

- A chosen company name
Can I open a UAE business from abroad without visiting?
Yes, many Free Zones and Offshore setups allow remote company registration, especially with the help of a registered business consultant like SafeLedger.
What are the benefits of setting up in a UAE Free Zone?
Here are some advantages of setting up a company in the UAE's Free Zone:
- 100% foreign ownership

- Easy visa processing
- No import/export duties within the zone
