Start your business without a headache

Freezone Company Setup

If you are researching for a freezone company formation in the United Arab Emirates for the first time, you will easily feel lost. There are hundreds of agencies offering multiple different freezones (more than 45). There are no clear answers to which Freezone in which emirate suits your business model best. And why are there so many significant price differences? These and other questions will arise and making the wrong decision now can be expensive later on.

CAN I DO THIS ON MY OWN?
Let's assume you've diligently done your research and have decided on the freezone that is best appropriate to your business. Choosing the freezone is just step one and after that is where the real battle begins. The Freezone will inundate you with information, required forms, documents and required business plans, most of which does not always make sense. Choose the wrong activity and it might mean that the bank will refuse your application or that you will need third party approvals.

After completing the company setup, you are faced with the visa application and the visa procedure, even for locals this is quite a task. The regulations regarding the Emirates ID procedure are being changed almost weekly and there is no official website that you can rely on. If you think you can call and find out, think again. The visa procedure involves 4 steps and they are all intertwined with each other. It is very important to have clear instructions and addresses to rely on or, even better, have a personal visa process assistant that takes you through all the steps.

Detailed Freezone Setup Procedure

The most important question that most of our customers ask themselves is the exact procedure. The steps of the entire process are already summarized above. Below is the process in a little more detail. You will be required to stay in Dubai for 3-5 days for the procedure.

  1. After receiving the proof of payment, we prepare everything (forms and applications are filled out by us in advance and submitted after receiving the payment). Your digital signature is sufficient and you do not need to be physically present for the company formation.
  2. Approximately 7 business days after submitting the application, we will send you your company documents. The company is officially legally competent from this point on.
  3. After that we make an application for the Establishment Card and then the e-permit.
  4. AS soon as the E-permit is issued you can enter the country and go through the visa process. With our standard and VIP package, our driver will pick you up and an employee will escort you through the entire process. The visa process usually takes half a day.
  5. Your passport will then be handed in to the Freezone for visa stamping and you will get it back after 1-3 days (VIP service possible). You can leave the country immediately after receiving your passport.
  6. The Emirates ID will be issued after approximately 5 days and you can either stay longer to collect it in person, collect it at a different time or we can collect the ID (as part of standard and VIP package) and courier it to you (charges for courier apply).
  7. You can now open a bank account online. Of course you will get all the information how to do it from us. If you chose CIP package we will submit all applications for you.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE VISA PROCEDURE
We will handle the entire procedure and applications until this point. For the residence visa you have to be physically present and complete a so-called medical test (blood test and chest X-ray) in Dubai and for the Emirates ID card they will take your biometrics (eye scan and fingerprints).

HOW TO OPEN A CORPORATE BANK ACCOUNT
The most important thing for most new company owners is the opening of a bank account. But in order to get a corporate bank account nowadays, the UAE Central Bank dictates that at least one of the shareholders has to hold a valid UAE Residence Visa. To open a bank account in Dubai or any other Emirates is a tedious task and you have to expect a minimum timeframe of about 1-3 months from application to issuance of online log-in data depending on documentations that you will be able to present to bank. The timeframe depends on many factors, none of them can be influenced by us.

VIP PACKAGE - BANK ACCOUNT
We have already helped numerous clients with the opening of their bank account and know exactly how to communicate with the banker and how to formulate the business plan to speed up the process. Of course there is no guarantee that the bank will grant an account, as it depends on the supporting documentation of the client. But, as of today, almost all of our clients have managed to open an account with our assistance.
