What we can help with

Take one service or the whole setup.

Free zone or mainland?

A free zone company is licensed by that zone's own authority; a mainland company is licensed by the emirate's economic department and can trade directly across the UAE. Not sure which you need? Say so in the form and we'll advise.

Mainland — all seven emirates

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

A note if you live in the UK

Forming a UAE company doesn't by itself change your UK tax position. A company that is run from the UK can still be UK tax resident, and UK-resident owners remain taxable in the UK. Take UK tax advice before relying on a UAE structure — our accounting partners can help.
