Why CompanyForm

Five reasons to stop shopping around.

One WhatsApp thread

Same specialist, every conversation. No queue, no escalations, no losing context.

Fixed-fee, written quote

Government fees broken out at cost. No surprise charges in week three.

Fast by design

Most free-zone setups complete in 7 working days. Mainland in 10–14.

Banking that actually opens

Direct relationship-manager introductions, not generic referrals.

Compliance on autopilot

VAT, corporate tax, audit, ESR, UBO — handled by the same team that set you up.

No call-centre handoffs

Every team member is a setup specialist. No juniors, no offshore queues, no chatbots.

The difference

Most setup firms make you wait and wonder.

We publish the price, build the estimate live, and put one human on your file. Here's the honest side-by-side.

Founders, in their words

Don't take our word for it.

"I run a SaaS company from Austin and had my DMCC free-zone licence and bank intro done in nine days — without a single flight. The WhatsApp updates meant I always knew exactly where things stood."

Questions, answered

The things founders ask us first.

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

Free Zone setups start at AED 10,800 (incl. one investor visa), Offshore from AED 5,500, and Mainland from AED 22,000. Use the cost calculator above for an instant, itemised estimate — or WhatsApp us for an exact written quote.

How long does the whole process take?

Most Free Zone companies are live in about 7 working days with documents in order. Mainland averages 10–14 days. Banking can add 2–4 weeks depending on the bank and your nationality.

Do I need to be in the UAE to set up?

No. The full formation is remote — we collect documents over WhatsApp and a secure portal and file on your behalf. You'd only fly in for a short biometrics appointment if you want a residency visa.

Mainland or Free Zone — which should I choose?

Free Zone suits digital, holding, and international businesses (100% ownership, tax-efficient). Mainland is for serving the local UAE market, government contracts, and physical retail. We'll recommend the right one on a 15-minute call.

Do you help with the bank account too?

Yes. We make direct relationship-manager introductions to UAE banks that work with founders, prepare your file, and walk you through KYC. Banking is one of our most-used auxiliary services.

Can you handle accounting, tax, and visas after setup?

That's the whole point. Bookkeeping, VAT, the 9% corporate tax, PRO/visa renewals, audit, payroll — all handled by the same team that formed your company. One provider, one thread.
