 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I must extend my congratulations to the EZONE team for the excellent service they provided me in setting up my business in the UAE. Especially, Samantha Platon and Harriette Pauline are real superstars! Samantha guided me through the process of setting up my business and made sure that I understood each step of the process. When I needed to enquire about additional business services, Samantha always came through and provided professional direction and advise on my business requirements. Harriette was instrumental and her dedication and knowledge of the status change process and assisting me with obtaining a new EID was invaluable. Thank you Samantha Platon, Harriette Pauline and the EZONE team.

Kudos to Mariben and her whole EZONE Family! I am overjoyed as I got my trade license in LESS THAN 48 hours from the time I submitted all my requirements.
EZONE is the best company formation I have dealt with. Special thanks to IVAN who have handled, answered and enlightened me with all my inquiries. I am extremely grateful for his outstanding service from general inquiries up to the time that my license has been released.
EZONE has the best support team - making sure that their client’s concern are well looked after. They also have most of the services that you’ll need for a company set-up, everything is all in one roof at EZONE (from license to opening bank accounts to helping with tax and accounting concerns, and a lot more) - they all have it from A-Z!
This company is heaven sent!

FAQ

Starting a company in Dubai: your questions.

Still deciding?

Tell us what you're planning and we'll recommend the right setup on a free call.

Ask a consultant

How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai?

It depends on the jurisdiction, your activities and your team size. Our advisors prepare a written quote for your exact setup, with third-party fees and our own fee shown separately, before you commit.

Do I need to travel to Dubai to start a business?

Most of the setup can be done remotely with our help. For UAE residency you need one short trip to Dubai, and most banks also want to meet you in person.

Free zone or mainland: which is right for me?

Free zones suit consultancies, online businesses and international trading. Mainland suits businesses that serve UAE customers directly or need a shop or office. We recommend one on your first call based on what you'll actually do.

How long does company formation in Dubai take?

Some free zone activities can be set up within days. Others take longer depending on the activity. Residency steps follow once the company is set up, and we give you a timeline on your first call.

Will I pay 0% tax in the UAE?

There's no personal income tax. Companies pay 9% corporate tax on profit above AED 375,000, and qualifying free zone income can be taxed at 0%. Whether you owe tax in Europe depends on your tax residency, so check that with a tax adviser in your country.

Can you help me open a business bank account?

Yes. We introduce you to banks that fit your business and help prepare the documents. The bank makes the final decision.

What language are consultations in?

Our consultants speak English, and all documents and quotes are in English.
