The UAE Business Setup Guide 2026
Everything we tell clients in the first consultation, written down: how to choose between mainland, free zone and offshore, what each really costs over three years, and the mistakes that cost people months.
- Mainland vs free zone vs offshore, compared honestly
- The three-year cost of a licence, not just year one
- Why bank applications get declined — and how to avoid it
- Visa quotas and how office space determines them
- Corporate tax and VAT: what applies to you and when
- A document checklist you can work through before you start
