FAQ

Frequently Asked|Questions

How long does company formation take in Dubai?
Commercial Mainland licenses are typically issued within 3-5 working days. Free Zone setups vary between 5-10 working days depending on the specific jurisdiction and regulatory authority approvals.
Will Al Muaafa assist with corporate bank accounts?
Yes. We package your business plan, coordinate pre-compliance reviews, and introduce your team directly to senior corporate relationship managers at leading UAE banking institutions.
What is the corporate tax environment in the UAE?
The UAE enforces a standard 9% corporate tax on taxable business income exceeding AED 375,000. Startups and Free Zone entities meeting qualifying conditions can benefit from a 0% tax rate. We provide full planning support.
Do I need a local UAE partner or sponsor to open a business?
No. For most business activities (commercial, professional, industrial) on the Mainland and Free Zones, the UAE allows 100% foreign ownership. For specific strategic sectors, a local service agent may be required.
Is a physical office space mandatory for company registration?
Mainland licenses require a physical tenancy lease (Ejari). However, many Free Zones provide Flexi-desk, smart desk, or virtual office setups that allow you to secure a license and visa without office overheads.
How do I qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa is issued to real estate investors purchasing property valued at AED 2 million or more, highly paid executives with salary slips exceeding AED 30,000, specialized medical professionals, and outstanding students.
Is there a minimum share capital required to start a business?
In most jurisdictions, there is no strict minimum paid-up share capital requirement. You only need to declare the share capital structure in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) during incorporation.
