Frequently Asked Questions About Business Setup in Dubai

1. How much does it cost to start a business in Dubai?

The cost of business setup in Dubai depends on the license type, jurisdiction, and visa requirements. Mainland and free zone fees vary based on business activity and office needs. Government charges, visa processing, and compliance costs also affect the total investment. The final cost is determined after reviewing your company structure and operational requirements.

2. How long does company formation in Dubai take?

Company formation in Dubai typically takes a few working days to a few weeks. Free zone companies are often approved faster, while mainland businesses may require additional approvals from the Department of Economic Development (DED). Visa processing and bank account approvals may extend the overall timeline depending on documentation accuracy.

3. Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Dubai?

Yes, many business activities in Dubai allow 100% foreign ownership, especially in free zones and most mainland sectors. However, certain regulated activities may require additional approvals. Choosing the correct license category ensures full compliance with UAE company formation regulations.

4. What is the difference between mainland and free zone business setup?

Mainland companies can operate across the entire UAE market and work directly with local clients. Free zone companies benefit from simplified registration and tax advantages but may face restrictions when trading within the local UAE market. The right choice depends on your target market and business activity.

5. Do I need a residency visa to start a business in Dubai?

A residency visa is not required to register a company, but it is necessary if you plan to live and operate in the UAE. Investor and partner visas require medical testing, Emirates ID registration, and approvals from Immigration and MOHRE. Visa eligibility depends on your license type and office setup.

6. Is VAT registration mandatory for new businesses in the UAE?

VAT registration is mandatory if your annual taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Businesses below the threshold may apply voluntarily. Proper VAT registration and compliance prevent penalties and ensure smooth financial operations.

7. What documents are required for company formation in Dubai?

Basic documents typically include passport copies of shareholders, proposed business activity details, trade name options, and visa copies if applicable. Additional documents may be required depending on the jurisdiction and regulated activities. Accurate documentation ensures faster approvals from DED or free zone authorities.

8. Does LBMS handle the complete business setup process?

Yes, LBMS provides end-to-end business setup services in Dubai. We manage company formation, trade license registration, visa processing, bank account assistance, VAT registration, and PRO services. Our team coordinates directly with relevant UAE authorities to ensure full regulatory compliance.
