Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about business setup in Dubai
Do I need to be in Dubai to open a business?
No, you don’t need to be physically present in Dubai to set up your business. DubaiBizz can handle the entire company formation process remotely. However, for certain types of visas and banking procedures, a brief visit may be required, which we can schedule efficiently to minimize your time commitment.
What is the cost difference between Mainland and Freezone?
Mainland setups typically cost more than Freezone options due to higher licensing fees and potential local sponsorship requirements. Mainland licenses start from AED 15,000, while Freezone packages start from AED 12,000. However, the exact cost depends on your business activity, location, and visa requirements. Our consultants can provide a customized quote based on your specific needs.
Can foreigners own 100% of the company?
Yes, foreigners can own 100% of companies in Dubai and the UAE. Recent legal reforms have removed the previous requirement for local sponsorship in most business activities for mainland companies. All Freezone and Offshore companies already permitted 100% foreign ownership. Our team can advise on any specific activities that might still have ownership restrictions.
How long does the business setup process take?
The business setup process can be completed in as little as 3-5 days for Freezones, 5-7 days for Mainland, and 1-2 days for Offshore companies. However, timeframes can vary based on the complexity of your business activities, the specific jurisdiction selected, and document readiness. Our team works to expedite the process while ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.
What documents are required to set up a company?
Basic requirements include passports copies of all shareholders, a brief business plan or description of activities, and proof of address. Additional documents may be needed depending on your business type and jurisdiction. Our team will provide a comprehensive checklist and assist with document preparation to ensure a smooth application process.
How many visas can I get with my business license?
The number of visas depends on your company type, location, and office space. Mainland companies have more flexible visa allocations based on office size. Freezone companies typically offer packages with predefined visa quotas (usually 2-6 visas). Offshore companies do not provide visa eligibility. We can help you maximize your visa allocation through strategic planning and setup recommendations.
