UAE Company Formation, Corporate Tax, VAT Filing, Audit & Liquidation Services

Yes. Foreign nationals can own companies in the UAE, with 100% foreign ownership available for most free zone entities and for many mainland activities. The exact ownership rules depend on the jurisdiction, the licensed activity and the applicable regulations at the time of application.

Certain free zone applications with complete documentation can be processed very quickly, sometimes within 24 hours. This timeline applies only to eligible applications and remains subject to the selected jurisdiction, business activity and approval by the relevant UAE authorities.

A mainland company is generally suited to trading and serving customers across the UAE, while a free zone company often works well for export, re-export, consultancy and online businesses. The right answer depends on your activity, target market, office requirements, visa needs and budget — we compare the options with you before you commit.

Many free zone incorporations can be completed remotely. Travel may be required for certain mainland procedures, biometrics, Emirates ID and some corporate bank account openings, depending on the authority and bank involved.

Yes. We provide process guidance and documentation support for corporate bank account applications with UAE banks. Account approval is solely at the discretion of the bank following its own compliance and due diligence checks.

Yes. We support investor, partner and employee visa processes including establishment card, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and visa stamping coordination, subject to eligibility and authority approval.

It depends on the jurisdiction and the licence. Many free zones allow flexi-desk or shared workspace packages, while some mainland activities require a physical office with a registered tenancy contract.

Costs vary by jurisdiction, licence category, business activity, number of visas and office requirement. Share your activity and requirements and we will prepare a personalised, itemised quotation with inclusions and exclusions clearly listed.

Yes. We support corporate tax registration and annual filing, VAT registration and deregistration, quarterly VAT returns, LLC audit coordination, bookkeeping and licence renewals for companies already licensed in the UAE.

Typical obligations include trade licence renewal, establishment card and visa renewals, corporate tax registration and filing, VAT returns where registered, bookkeeping and record retention, audited financial statements where required, and UBO/ESR-style filings where applicable.

UAE corporate tax applies broadly to businesses and business activities licensed in the UAE, including free zone entities, which must register with the Federal Tax Authority even where qualifying income may be taxed at 0%. We assess your position and handle the registration.

VAT returns are usually filed quarterly, though some businesses are assigned monthly filing periods by the Federal Tax Authority. We prepare, reconcile and submit returns before each deadline.

Many free zones require audited financial statements at licence renewal, and mainland companies increasingly require audits for banking, tax and regulatory purposes. We coordinate the audit with registered UAE auditors.

Voluntary liquidation typically takes several weeks to a few months depending on the authority, clearances, visa cancellations, tax de-registration and the liquidator report process.

Yes. We handle backlog and clean-up accounting, take over monthly bookkeeping, rebuild ledgers and put you back on a compliant filing calendar.
