How Can We Help You?

Explore our FAQs or view our full range of Corporate Services for personalized assistance.

Company Formation

What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone companies?

+

Mainland companies can operate anywhere in the UAE and internationally. They allow you to trade directly with UAE consumers.

Free Zone companies offer benefits like 100% foreign ownership and tax exemptions but are generally restricted to trading within the Free Zone or internationally. Learn more about our Mainland and Free Zone packages here.

Do you offer strategic advice for new businesses?

+

Yes, we don't just set up companies; we plan them. Our Strategic Business Advisory services cover market feasibility, corporate tax planning, and operational structuring.

Do I need a physical office to start a business?

+

Yes, a registered address is mandatory. However, you can choose cost-effective options like flexi-desks or virtual offices. We assist with the complete Office Ejari Registration process.

Visa Services

How long does visa processing take?

+

Employment visa processing typically takes 2-3 weeks. Investor and partner visas are faster, often within 7-10 business days. See our Visa Services page for timelines.

Can I sponsor my family members?

+

Yes, if you meet the salary requirements (min AED 4,000). We handle the file opening, sponsorship, and stamping through our Family Visa & Residency Services.

Can I get a Golden Visa?

+

Yes, if you are an investor, entrepreneur, or specialized talent (like a doctor or coder). The UAE Golden Visa offers 10-year residency for you and your family.

Do you assist with Medical tests and Emirates ID?

+

Absolutely. We provide VIP booking for medical tests and handle all biometrics appointments and typing via our Emirates ID & Medical Processing service.

Trade License

How often does a trade license need to be renewed?

+

Trade licenses must be renewed annually. Failure to renew results in fines. We offer seamless Trade License Renewal services to keep you compliant.

What happens if my trade license expires?

+

An expired license leads to fines and blocked files at the Ministry of Labour. Contact our PRO team immediately to clear fines and restore your status.

PRO Services

What are PRO services?

+

PRO services handle government transactions like visa processing, license approvals, and document clearance with departments like DET and MOHRE. Learn more about our Corporate PRO & Government Liaison services.
