FAQ

Questions founders ask.

Still unsure? Talk to an advisor. We reply the same day.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in the UAE?

Yes. Free zone companies allow full foreign ownership, and most mainland activities now allow 100% foreign ownership too. A short list of strategic activities still has restrictions, so we check yours before you apply.

Choose mainland if you will sell directly to UAE customers, need a shop or want government contracts. Choose a free zone if you work internationally, want lower setup costs or need a flexi-desk. Many founders start in a free zone and add a mainland branch later.

Most free zone licences are issued within a few working days once documents are complete. Mainland setups usually take one to three weeks, depending on approvals. Visas follow after the licence and establishment card.

In most free zones you can set up remotely. You will need to be in the UAE for the residence visa medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, and banks usually ask to meet signatories.

Yes. Since June 2023 the UAE applies 9% corporate tax on taxable profit above AED 375,000, with 0% below that. Qualifying free zone companies can keep 0% on qualifying income. Every company must register with the Federal Tax Authority.
