Business setup in Dubai, done properly the first time

Starting a company in the UAE is straightforward once you know which licence, which jurisdiction and which activity code fit your business. Get one of those wrong and you pay for it at renewal, at the bank, or when you try to hire.

CorporateEZ plans the structure with you first, then handles every application, approval and appointment until your company is licensed, your visa is stamped and your bank account is open.

Everything your UAE company needs, in one place

One team plans your structure, files your paperwork and keeps you compliant afterwards, so you never have to coordinate between agents.

Company formation

Mainland LLCs, free zone companies, offshore entities and branch offices. We match the legal structure to how you actually plan to trade.

Trade licence

Commercial, professional or industrial. We select the right activities, reserve your trade name and secure initial and final approvals.

Investor and employee visas

Establishment card, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and visa stamping for you, your partners, your staff and your family.

PRO services

Government paperwork, attestations, renewals and amendments handled by our PRO team, so you never stand in a queue.

Corporate bank account

We prepare your file the way UAE banks expect it, introduce you to the right bank for your activity, and stay with you through compliance questions.

Corporate tax and VAT

Registration, filing and advice on the 9% corporate tax and 5% VAT, including whether your free zone company qualifies for the 0% rate.

Golden Visa

Eligibility check and end-to-end application for the 10-year residency, for investors, founders and skilled professionals.

Accounting and audit

Monthly bookkeeping, financial statements and audit coordination, which many free zones and all banks will ask for.

From first call to open bank account, in five steps

You always know which step you're on, what we need from you, and what happens next.

  1. Free consultation

    Tell us your business activity, number of shareholders and visa needs. We recommend a jurisdiction and send an itemised cost breakdown.

  2. Structure and trade name

    We finalise your legal form, business activities and trade name, and get initial approval.

  3. Licence issued

    We draft and file your incorporation documents, arrange your office or flexi desk, and collect your trade licence.

  4. Visas and Emirates ID

    Establishment card, entry permit, medical test, biometrics and visa stamping. We book every appointment and go with you.

  5. Bank account

    We prepare your application, line up the bank meeting and follow through until the account is active.

Free zone licences are often issued within days. Mainland and bank timelines depend on your activity, and we'll tell you yours before you start.

Mainland, free zone or offshore: which one fits you?

The right answer depends on where your customers are, how many visas you need and how you plan to grow.

Trade anywhere in the UAE

Best if your customers are in the UAE. Trade across the country, take government contracts, open shops and offices in any location, and sponsor as many visas as your office space allows. Most activities now allow 100% foreign ownership.

What you get with us that you won't get from a licence reseller

Plenty of agents can sell you a licence. Fewer will tell you what it costs to keep, or whether it's the right one.

Itemised quotes

Government fees, our fees and next year's renewal cost, all shown before you pay. No surprises at month eleven.

One advisor throughout

The person who plans your setup is the person who answers your WhatsApp in step five.

Led by chartered accountants

Your structure is checked for corporate tax, VAT and home-country tax impact before anything is filed, not after.

Support after the licence

Renewals, visa changes, tax filings and bookkeeping, so your company stays compliant once it's running.

Built for founders coming to Dubai from anywhere

  • First-time entrepreneurs
  • Consultants and freelancers
  • E-commerce sellers
  • Trading companies
  • Tech startups
  • Businesses opening a Gulf branch

Setting up from India?

We advise on FEMA and overseas investment rules, the India and UAE tax treaty, and tax residency certificates, so your Dubai company works on both sides of the border.

Questions founders ask us first

Can't see yours? Send it on WhatsApp and an advisor will answer, usually the same day.

Ask on WhatsApp

Yes. Free zone companies have always allowed it, and most mainland activities now allow it too. A small number of strategic activities still need a UAE national partner, and we'll tell you upfront if yours is one.

A free zone licence can be issued within days. Mainland depends on the activity and any external approvals. Visas and the bank account follow, so plan for a few weeks end to end.

Many free zones let you incorporate remotely. You'll need to visit for your visa medical and biometrics, and most banks want to meet you in person.

Mainland companies need a registered office. Most free zones offer a flexi desk or shared office that meets the requirement.

There's no personal income tax. Companies pay 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000, qualifying free zone income can be taxed at 0%, and VAT is 5%. We'll show you what applies to your business.

Yes. Mainland and free zone companies can sponsor visas for owners, employees and family. Offshore companies cannot.

Mainland companies trade freely across the UAE. Free zone companies trade internationally and within their zone, and need a distributor or branch to sell directly on the mainland.

A passport copy, a photo, your proposed trade names and a short description of your business. We'll ask for anything else as we go.

Yes. It's the step most people struggle with, and it's included in how we work.

Your licence and office renew annually, and visas run on their own cycle. We track every date and remind you well in advance.

Tell us what you want to build. We'll tell you exactly what it takes.

Share your business activity and we'll send a recommended jurisdiction and a full cost breakdown within one working day. The consultation is free, and there's no obligation.
