Three Steps From First Call to Trading

A straightforward UAE company is normally licensed within about a week once the paperwork is in order. Visas and banking follow on the authority’s and the bank’s timetable.

01

Consultation & Planning

We start with the activity you want to licence, who owns the company, how many visas you need and what you are prepared to spend. You leave that conversation with a jurisdiction recommendation and a written quote that separates government fees from ours.

02

Documentation & Licensing

Trade name reservation, initial approval, memorandum drafting and notarisation, external ministry approvals where the activity is regulated, and premises registered so the lease can be filed. Then the trade licence is issued and the company is on the register.

03

Visa, Emirates ID & Banking

Establishment card, entry permits, medicals, Emirates ID and visa stamping for you and anyone you sponsor, corporate bank account introductions, and corporate tax registration within the deadline — so the company is not just registered but actually operational.
