UAE company setup, without the fine-print surprises.
Requirements change and individual circumstances matter. These answers provide a careful starting point.
Frequently asked
Careful answers to important questions.
01Which UAE jurisdiction is right for my business?
It depends on your licensed activities, customer location, visa needs, banking profile, expected turnover and where the work is carried out. We compare the realistic options before recommending a structure.
02What does a UAE company setup cost?
Government and Free Zone fees vary by jurisdiction, activity, licence term, facility and visa allocation. Our proposal separates official fees from Fenich Gateway service fees and lists inclusions and exclusions before payment.
03Can the process be completed remotely?
Many licensing steps can be handled remotely. Residence visa medical screening and biometrics normally require presence in the UAE. Requirements can change by authority and applicant.
04Do I need a UAE residence visa?
Not in every structure. The right answer depends on your plans, banking needs, operational substance and personal circumstances.
05How long does company formation take?
Timelines vary by jurisdiction, activity, document readiness and government approval. We provide a realistic estimate after assessment rather than promising a universal 24-hour setup.
06Can Fenich Gateway guarantee a bank account?
No. Banks make independent decisions based on compliance, business model, customer markets, source of funds and risk appetite. We help you prepare, but cannot guarantee approval.
07Is a UAE company automatically tax-free?
No. UAE corporate tax, VAT, Free Zone rules and tax in other countries may apply. Treatment depends on activities, income, substance and personal circumstances. Obtain advice from qualified tax specialists.
08What happens after the company is incorporated?
You may need immigration steps, banking preparation, tax registration or assessment, bookkeeping, invoicing controls, beneficial-owner records and annual renewals. We clarify the post-licensing obligations relevant to your setup.
09What documents are normally required?
Common requirements include a passport copy, photograph, contact and address details, proposed activities, company names and sometimes proof of address, CV or business evidence. The authority or bank may request more.
10Does Fenich Gateway offer ongoing support?
Yes. Support can cover renewals and practical administration, plus coordination with qualified accounting, VAT, corporate-tax and legal specialists when needed.
