What types of businesses can I set up in Abu Dhabi?
You can set up mainland, free zone, or offshore companies. Each type has its own legal structure, ownership rules, and benefits based on your business activity.
Do I need a local sponsor to start a business?
For mainland businesses, a local Emirati sponsor or service agent is typically required. However, some professional licenses allow full foreign ownership under specific conditions.
Can you assist with both free zone and mainland setups?
Yes. We guide you through every step whether you choose a free zone for 100% ownership or a mainland company for broader business scope.
What documents are needed to register a business?
You’ll usually need passport copies, visa and Emirates ID, business name options, lease agreement (for mainland), and initial activity approval from relevant authorities.
How long does the company setup process take?
It depends on the license type, but most setups are completed within 3 to 10 working days once all documents are ready and approvals are in place.
Do you help with trade license and visa processing too?
Absolutely. We handle trade license application, establishment card, MOHRE registration, and employee or investor visas as part of our full setup service.
Can you assist with opening a corporate bank account?
Yes. We guide you through the documentation process and connect you with banks suitable for your business profile and nationality requirements.
Will I get ongoing support after setup?
Yes. We offer post-setup support including license renewal, PRO services, document clearing, and any additional changes or amendments your business may need.
