FAQ

Common questions from US founders.

Do I still pay US taxes if I have a UAE company?

US citizens and green card holders are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live or where their company is incorporated. A UAE structure can defer or reduce taxes depending on your individual situation, but you should always work with a US tax advisor on the specifics. CompanyForm handles the UAE setup; we don't give US tax advice.

Do I have to move to the UAE?

No. You can own and operate a UAE company while living anywhere. If you want UAE tax residency (which can be a tax advantage), you'll need to spend at least 90 days per year in the UAE. We can advise on the structures that work best for non-residents.

How fast is "7 days"?

That's the typical timeline for a Free Zone setup with documents in order. Mainland setups average 10–14 days. Banking can add another 2–4 weeks depending on the bank and your nationality.

What does it cost?

Total setup costs (government fees + our service fee) range from roughly USD 2,940 to USD 5,990 depending on jurisdiction and visa requirements. WhatsApp us for an exact quote — we'll share specifics in the first 15-minute call.

Can I open a UAE bank account from the US?

Yes, but most banks require a video KYC call and may eventually request an in-person visit. We introduce you to banks that work well with US clients and walk you through the process.

Is this legal?

Yes. Owning a foreign company is fully legal for US persons. You'll have ongoing US filing obligations (Form 5471, FBAR, etc.) — talk to a US tax professional. We focus on the UAE side.
