The UAE with its strategic position in the Middle East offers an excellent opportunity for foreign companies to setup and tap into the region’s market of approximately 2 billion people. Many successful multinationals have already established themselves here and there is greater potential for development as is witnessed by the recent economic boom in the region. Professing a beneficial zero tax policy, the business culture is multinational, and the growth potential is unlike in any other place.

​

There are two main jurisdictions for entrepreneurs to set up companies in the UAE, either through an onshore or offshore entity. 

 

Onshore companies are further subdivided into a mainland company, or a free zone company. Each of these, onshore mainland, free zone and offshore companies have their unique differentiators, which we will explain separately. 

 

As such, the choice of a legal form is an important consideration while setting up in the UAE as each legal form has its limitations and advantages. 

 

We assist clients in the establishment of all types of business entities and have special relationships with correspondents in major authorities and free zones to ensure structuring remains at all times cost-effective.

 

Whatever your question is, our team will point you in the right direction.
