The Advantages of Setting Up a Company in Dubai
Setting up a company in Dubai comes with significant tax advantages. Corporate tax remains among the lowest in the world: 9% above AED 375,000 in annual profits, with exemptions available for many qualifying Free Zone activities. Personal income tax stands at 0%.
Dubai offers administrative ease for opening a bank account, including remotely in some cases, which simplifies international business management for non-resident entrepreneurs.
One of the other major benefits is the investor residency visa in Dubai, which lets you reside in the UAE while managing your business remotely. This visa is renewable every three years and gives entrepreneurs easy access to the city without requiring permanent residence.
The UAE is known for its strategic geographic location, world-class infrastructure, and attractive tax framework, which draw international investors and businesses. Free zones, offering favourable business conditions, along with proactive government support, drive growth across multiple sectors.

FAQ: Setting Up a Company in Dubai
Setting up a company in Dubai can be done almost entirely remotely for most Free Zone structures: the application, licence, and bank account opening can usually be initiated from abroad, with an in-person visit typically only required for residency visa biometrics.
A Free Zone company offers 100% foreign ownership and simplified procedures, but limits direct trading in the local UAE market. A Mainland company (LLC) allows you to trade freely across the UAE and bid for government contracts, while also allowing 100% ownership on most business activities.
Cost depends on the structure chosen, the free zone, and the number of visas required: a Free Zone company typically starts from a few thousand dollars, including licence and visa. A tailored quote is provided after a free review of your project.
Personal income is not taxed in the UAE. Companies are subject to a 9% corporate tax above AED 375,000 in annual profits, with exemptions available for certain qualifying Free Zone activities.
A Free Zone company can typically be set up in 5 to 15 working days, depending on the free zone chosen. A Mainland company or a structure requiring specific approvals can take 3 to 6 weeks.
Yes. Setting up a company in Dubai entitles you to an investor residency visa, renewable every 3 years, extendable to your family. Investors meeting certain criteria may also qualify for the Golden Visa, valid for up to 10 years.
Some partner banks offer a simplified account opening process, including remotely in certain cases, although an in-person or video interview is generally required depending on the institution.
To structure international activities, asset holding, or wealth planning, an Offshore company (JAFZA Offshore, RAK ICC) is generally recommended, with no requirement for physical office space or an associated visa.
