How to start a business in Dubai
Setting up a business in Dubai may at first glance seem like a daunting process, but with the assistance of Europe Emirates Group, the process will be smooth and stress-free. We will help you decide whether your business is best suited to Free Zones, Mainland or Offshore, in addition to the legal structure, guiding you through every stage of the company formation process.
To give you an overview, Mainland businesses enjoy unrestricted market access, while Free Zones provide incentives like full foreign ownership and tax benefits. Offshore companies, on the other hand, enable foreign entrepreneurs to have 100% ownership of the company, without a physical presence in the UAE.
Opening a business in a Dubai Free Zone
There are over 40 Free Zones available in the UAE, which enable foreign investors to have full ownership of their companies. If you’re looking to open a business in Dubai, Free Zones may be the perfect corporate option for you if you want to only operate within the Free Zone and abroad, rather than on the Mainland.
