BUSINESS SETUP DUBAI FAQ’s
To begin with, choose your business activity and decide on the right jurisdiction — mainland or free zone. After that, reserve your trade name and submit your application to the respective authority. Most importantly, we manage all approvals and documentation to ensure a smooth business setup in Dubai.
At the present time, corporate tax in the UAE is 0% for profits up to AED 375,000, and 9% for anything above that. Additionally, every company is required to register the Corporate Tax Certificate for earned income within three months after company formation.
To summarize, the cost starts from AED 7,499 to AED 13,999 for a free zone company; meanwhile, the Mainland business setup starts around AED 19,999 + VAT.

At the same time, many free zones offer greater flexibility for setting up a side business, and several now allow you to obtain a licence without needing an NOC at all for business setup in Dubai.
A limited liability company in a UAE free zone is often the simplest and most cost-effective way to start, especially for solo entrepreneurs and service providers.
