What should I decide about documents, visas and office before filing?
Start with passport copies, proposed names and activity, then decide likely visa numbers and office type – flexi desk or dedicated space – because they affect route, cost and renewals. We confirm a case-specific documents list before filing.
How do I become bank-account ready, and what happens after the licence for tax?
Bank readiness means a clear licence, shareholder and activity documents and a simple explanation of expected transactions; the bank makes its own decision. After the licence, plan VAT and corporate tax registration where applicable, plus bookkeeping and audit readiness – tax treatment is assessed on your facts.
Can foreign founders own a UAE company?
Many activities allow full foreign ownership, with exceptions. Ownership is confirmed for your activity — no blanket rule is assumed.
How long does setup take?
Timelines depend on route, activity, approvals and documents. We confirm an indicative timeline for your case in consultation.
