Start the company after you name the work

Write the activity first. Trading, consulting, a clinic, and a warehouse are four different licences and often four different buildings.

Ownership
100% foreign for most activities
Corporate tax
9% above AED 375k profit
VAT
5% once you cross the FTA line
  • Write the activity first.
  • Trading, consulting, a clinic, and a warehouse are four different licences and often four different buildings.
  • Then pick mainland DET if you will invoice UAE customers, or a free zone if you want a flexi desk and mostly international or zone-to-zone work.
  • The rest is a queue: trade name, initial approval, a real address (Ejari on mainland; flexi desk in many zones), licence and establishment card, corporate bank, visas, then FTA registrations.
  • Year-two renewal is part of the price.
  • Quotes that hide office and visas are not quotes.
  • This site is orientation.
  • Filings go on DET, the zone authority, and tax.gov.ae.
  • Anyone asking for a visa fee or passport scans on WhatsApp is not a registrar.
  • Use the private specialist form if you want a human to look at the activity list with you.

Practical notes, not official law. Confirm on ICP, MOHRE, RTA, KHDA and your employer before you act.
