What to expect
Licensing
We identify the closest permitted business activity and whether it belongs in mainland, free zone or a regulated route.
Visa Requirements
Visa planning depends on shareholder count, office package and future hiring needs; we align the licence with your expected headcount.
Banking
Banks review activity, ownership, transaction profile and documentation. We prepare the file before introductions begin.
Office Requirements
Depending on the activity, a flexi desk, virtual facility or physical office may be enough. We confirm before you choose a package.
Questions
Frequently asked
Contracting and construction work usually takes place on client sites across the UAE rather than within a free zone, which is why a mainland licence is typically required rather than a free zone one.
Some emirates and government clients require contractors to hold a classification or grading before bidding on certain projects - we tell you if this applies to your target clients.
