Entering the UAE Market: Where to Start

Company registration, licensing, and jurisdiction selection for doing business in Dubai.

Entering the UAE Market: Where to Start

Jurisdiction Selection

There is no universal "one-size-fits-all" scheme in the UAE. Mainland, Free Zone, and offshore structures serve different purposes: local market entry, export, holding, and asset management. Mistakes at this stage are costly—ranging from unnecessary expenses to the inability to conduct the required business activities.

Registration and Licensing

After selecting the legal form, it is necessary to determine business activities, draft constituent documents, complete KYC checks, and obtain a license. It is crucial to understand in advance the requirements regarding office space, local partners, minimum capital, and bank account opening timelines.

Post-Launch Support

Registration is just the beginning. Businesses will need accounting, compliance, visa support, and local partners for transactions. Golden Lex coordinates this process through a trusted network, including its partner Intellave in Dubai.
