For owners whose plans call for a UAE company and residence together. The package connects the business formation, residence process and banking, with the activity, applicant profile and relevant route established before the quote.
What the engagement can cover
- UAE company formation within the agreed jurisdiction, licence and activity scope.
- The agreed residence setup for the included applicant or applicants.
- Business banking setup coordinated with the company and ownership profile.
- Coordination of the company, residence and banking components expressly included in the proposal.
The proposal confirms the exact registrations, provider components, applicants and third-party charges. Any additional tax analysis, licences or professional work is identified before you proceed.
Tax and management in United Arab Emirates
UAE-resident juridical persons generally enter corporate tax on UAE and foreign income. A qualifying free-zone person can obtain 0% on qualifying income only under the separate regime; forming in a free zone does not make all receipts exempt.
Foreign juridical persons effectively managed and controlled in the UAE can be resident. Review where key commercial and strategic decisions are substantively made; incorporation, free-zone status and the owner’s visa are different issues.

Costs to budget for
We confirm the setup fee after reviewing your activity, ownership and intended use. The quote separates our work, government or registry charges, external provider costs and recurring obligations. There is no public flat price for an unspecified setup.
Initial setup
Formation, registrations, certification, translation and agreed implementation work.
Recurring costs
Local address or agent, administration, accounts, returns, licences and any genuine management arrangement.
Separate workstreams
Banking, residence, tax analysis, legal opinions and regulated-activity permissions where required.
Why work with us
- Formation is coordinated with the banking and operational needs of the actual business.
- The team identifies where management, residence, tax or platform questions need separate analysis before you commit.
- You have a defined implementation scope and a handover that explains the continuing responsibilities.
Prepare for an inquiry
- The exact business activity, markets and intended operating footprint.
- Applicant nationalities, current residence and the people who need residence permission.
- Ownership details and the evidence required for the accepted banking route.
- Realistic travel availability for any required in-person steps.
Things to watch out for
- Selecting a licence or jurisdiction only on the advertised first-year price.
- Assuming a residence permission alone settles personal tax residence elsewhere.
- Treating free-zone formation as automatic qualification for a particular corporate-tax result.
- Ignoring the ongoing cost of licence, residence, premises or other route conditions.
