BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION
Before getting started, I offer you a free introductory call. During the meeting, we will analyze your personal situation and your goals together, in order to identify the most suitable solution: from setting up a company in Dubai to transferring your tax residence to the United Arab Emirates. A concrete first step, tailored to you.
Once the strategy has been defined, we will immediately proceed with the registration of your company. The entire process takes place online, with no travel or complicated bureaucracy. Once this important step is completed, you will receive the official documents and the operating license that will allow you to start working and open a bank account in the company’s name. Another important and essential document you will receive is the agreement relating to the registered office.
If required, once the license is active we will arrange the paperwork for your residence permit, starting with the issuance of an entry visa. Upon arrival in Dubai, you will then need to complete the medical tests and biometric fingerprinting. After that, we will finalize the procedures necessary for the final issuance of the two-year residence permit (renewable indefinitely) and the Emirates ID, the official Emirati identity card.
With your residency documents, you will be able to open a personal multi-currency account (EUR, AED, USD) at any local bank, with a debit card, credit card, and checkbook.
The United Arab Emirates represent one of the few jurisdictions in the world that offer taxation at 0% on both personal and corporate income (except for specific cases such as companies subject to Corporate Tax on profits above certain thresholds).
This means being able to retain your profits in full and reinvest them in the growth of your business or in your personal life, in full compliance with the applicable laws.
all the benefits you will get
Setting up a company in Dubai is an extremely fast and digitalized process. In as little as 72 working hours, it is possible to obtain the operating license, without lengthy bureaucratic procedures. Everything can be handled remotely, with electronic signatures and documents sent by email, ensuring efficiency and saving time.
VAT at 5% is not automatically applied to all activities: it is introduced only if the company exceeds certain turnover thresholds or if you voluntarily decide to register. This allows you to operate in a leaner way and with lower costs, giving the entrepreneur the flexibility to choose the solution best suited to their business model.
Opening a company in the UAE does not require heavy upfront investments. The minimum share capital is often purely nominal and does not actually need to be paid in, allowing entrepreneurs and professionals to start their business without tying up significant financial resources.
Authorities allow companies to be opened with a virtual registered office or with access to shared spaces within Free Zones, without the obligation to rent a physical office. This significantly reduces fixed costs and offers maximum flexibility, especially for those operating digitally or internationally.
The United Arab Emirates are recognized as one of the safest and most stable countries globally, both politically and economically. The modern legal system and the strength of the banking sector ensure an ideal environment for protecting both personal and business assets.
Dubai offers a warm climate all year round and a high quality of life, with modern infrastructure, international-level healthcare, and premium services. This makes relocation not only a strategic business choice, but also an upgrade in personal and family lifestyle.
With over 200 resident nationalities and a highly multicultural environment, Dubai is a perfect international hub for expanding your network. Events, trade fairs, conferences, and professional communities create unique synergies and open the door to global markets.
From banking to telecommunications, from transport to coworking spaces, the UAE offers top-tier services and infrastructure designed to support business. Some of the world’s most modern airports, advanced logistics, and strong digital connectivity make Dubai a strategic reference point for international entrepreneurship.
Yes, it is possible to start a company in Dubai without relocating immediately, as most of the process can be handled remotely.
However, to fully benefit from the UAE’s tax advantages, it is important to evaluate the transfer of your tax residence. Otherwise, your personal income may remain subject to taxation in your home country.
Dubai is an international business hub that attracts entrepreneurs from all over the world. Some of the most common advantages include:
In most cases, the following are sufficient:
Generally, 5–10 working days from the moment the complete documentation is submitted.
Expenses are mainly divided into:
Not all of them. Only licenses that include visa quotas allow you to apply for residence permits (normally valid for 2 years). The process includes an entry permit, medical examination, and Emirates ID. It is therefore important to choose the right license based on your residency needs.
Yes, after the license is issued, you can proceed with opening a business account.
Local banks (e.g. Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Wio) and some international banks require specific requirements: generally, the license, company documents, and sometimes a description of the business activity are needed. Not all banks accept the same types of business, so the choice should be evaluated carefully.
If you do not transfer your tax residence to the UAE, you will generally continue to pay income tax in your home country on your personal income.
Furthermore, if the company is effectively managed from your home country or carries out its main activities there, it may also be considered tax resident in that country and therefore subject to taxation locally.
It is essential to assess your situation with a qualified advisor in your country of residence to avoid risks of tax residency misclassification and potential double taxation.
Yes. Licenses issued in Dubai cover many digital activities: e-commerce, remote consulting, online marketing, IT services, and trading. It is still important that the activity is compatible with what is provided for in the chosen license.
Because we offer all-inclusive packages and authorized, personalized assistance through direct agreements with Free Zones.
A transparent and flexible approach, designed for those who truly want to do business in the Emirates.
