Frequently Asked Questions

From company registration to getting your paperwork sorted we make setting up a company in Dubai quick, easy and as clear as possible. Here are answers to some common questions we get asked all the time.

While the exact cost depends on your company’s legal structure and choice of Freezone, you can expect to pay between AED 6,000 to 35,000 excluding office and setup service fees.

The average timeline to setup to a company takes around 1 – 3 working days but this depends on your business activity and whether extra permits are required.

They are similar licenses but the main difference lies in where businesses can and can’t operate. A company incorporated in the mainland can carry out business operations all over UAE but Freezone companies can only operate in a particular jurisdiction and outside the UAE.

You don’t need to have a costly physical office to complete the company setup process. We can sort you out with a virtual office alternative.

No, as of December 2020 you no longer need to share ownership with a local sponsor. You can register your company and own it outright with 100% ownership.

This is required for only certain business activities. A local service agent serves as a representative in front of government entities allowing you to open your business smoothly. These agents have no legal interest or authority in your business and you’ll still hold 100% ownership and complete power in your business’s operations. As of 2022 you have the option to remove the local service agent.

All businesses require a license whether they sell online or from physical locations. E commerce or E trader license are easy to register for and can be obtained the same day.

Yes, you have the flexibility of starting your business in the UAE from abroad. Experts at Silla can handle the entire company setup process for you with full guidance and transparency.

A key part of the company setup process is opening a local bank account. For that you’ll need to have a valid UAE residence visa. If you have UAE residency and are outside the country, you can appoint power of attorney to someone in the UAE and let them handle the account processing for you.

No, legal experts at Silla Advisory offer extensive guidance on legal structuring and will draft all legal paperwork required.

Yes, if you plan to provide crypto currency related services such as cold storage you need to obtain a crypto license in the UAE. However, you can’t register a cryptocurrency exchange or raise funds by launching an ICO.

There will be a federal corporate income tax of 9% from June 2023 onwards. This will apply to all the companies (Mainland & Freezone) that earn a net profit of AED 375,000 and above.

You only need to register for VAT in the UAE if your company’s turnover/revenue exceeds AED 375,000 per year. Our experts can make this process easy, simple and fast. Reach out to one of our experts if you’re unsure on how to get started with VAT registration.
