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
No - an e-commerce licence from a free zone covers online-only retail, so you don't need a physical storefront. A flexi desk or virtual office typically satisfies the licence's facility requirement.
Yes - once licensed, you can integrate with UAE payment gateways and accept local currency payments, though some gateways have their own onboarding requirements we can guide you through.
