Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the business setup process take in Dubai?
The timeline varies by business type and jurisdiction, typically ranging from 1-4 weeks. Free zone setups are often faster than mainland options. Factors affecting the timeline include document preparation, external department approvals, and the complexity of your business activities.
Is 100% foreign ownership allowed for all business types in Dubai?
Following recent legal reforms, 100% foreign ownership is now permitted for most business activities in Dubai, including mainland businesses. However, certain strategic sectors (like oil and gas, utilities, and some types of transportation) may still have local ownership requirements. Free zones have always offered 100% foreign ownership.
What's the difference between mainland, free zone, and offshore company setups?
Mainland companies can operate anywhere in the UAE and trade directly with the local market without restrictions. Free zone companies enjoy 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits but have restrictions on mainland operations without a local agent. Offshore companies are primarily used for asset holding, investments, and international trade, with no operations permitted within the UAE.
