Regional Q&A

Should we set up in a Free Zone or Mainland UAE?

It depends on your target market. If you are selling services B2B globally or purely online, a Free Zone is optimal. If you need to trade physical goods locally or bid on UAE government contracts, Mainland is usually required.

How long does it take to open a corporate bank account?

While licensing can take days, banking compliance can take 4-8 weeks. Our protocol accelerates this by preparing all KYC and business plan documents upfront.

Do we need a physical office?

Many Free Zones offer 'flexi-desk' or virtual office options to start, keeping overhead low while you test the market.
