We set you up to operate, not just to register

Most mistakes happen after incorporation. A cheap license is useless if it doesn’t cover what you actually do — so we build a structure that’s ready to invoice, bank and stay tax-compliant, then stay on for the accounting, VAT and Corporate Tax that follow.

Instant recommendation, not a sales pitch

Our engine matches your business to the right jurisdiction in minutes. Talk to a human only if you want to.

Built by accountants

We don’t disappear after the license. Corporate Tax, VAT and bookkeeping are handled by the same team.

Fully remote

A passport and a few documents. No flights, no queues for the standard free-zone route.

Transparent pricing

Government and free-zone fees plus our service fee. No hidden extras, no surprise renewals.

Frequently asked questions

Everything founders ask before setting up in the UAE.

Still have a question? Talk to a specialist

Yes — for the standard free-zone route (e.g. SHAMS, IFZA) registration is 100% remote. Mainland and residency-visa steps may require a short visit.

Free-zone licenses are typically issued within a few working days once documents are complete; some Dubai free zones issue same-day.

Free Zone suits remote/international and online businesses; Mainland suits selling directly to UAE consumers or needing a physical store or office. The wizard recommends based on your answers.

No for the free-zone route — a flexi-desk or virtual address is enough. Mainland generally requires a registered office.

A budget free zone such as SHAMS, with packages starting from a few thousand dirhams for a zero-visa license.

Yes. Free zones always allow 100% foreign ownership, and most mainland activities now do too — no local sponsor required.

Corporate Tax registration is required for UAE companies; VAT depends on turnover. QuickTax handles both as add-ons.

Qualifying Free Zone Persons can apply 0% Corporate Tax on qualifying income if they meet substance, income and accounting requirements.

Typically a passport copy, photo, proof of address and a short business description. Some cases need additional KYC.

Qualification, jurisdiction selection, document collection, application submission, registrar communication and license handover. Visas, banking and accounting are available as add-ons.
