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
Yes - several UAE free zones are built specifically around technology and IP-friendly regulation, with visa quotas suited to hiring developers and technical staff, and no requirement for a physical retail presence.
Most software and IT services activities only need a standard trade licence. Fintech, telecoms or activities touching regulated data may need additional approval - we flag this early if it applies to you.
