Free Zone Company Formation

A Free Zone company gives you 100% foreign ownership, fast licensing, and full repatriation of profits and capital — ideal for founders who don't need to trade directly with the UAE local market. Legalkarobar.com sets these up across established zones, including RAKEZ.

  • 100% foreign ownership, no local sponsor required
  • Licensing typically completed in 3–7 working days
  • Full profit and capital repatriation
  • RAKEZ and other established Free Zones available

Mainland LLC Formation

A Mainland LLC lets you trade directly across the UAE without Free Zone restrictions, bid for government contracts, and open branches across emirates. Most activities now allow 100% foreign ownership under current UAE commercial company rules.

  • Trade directly across the UAE local market
  • Eligible for government and semi-government contracts
  • 100% foreign ownership for most activities
  • Can open branches in multiple emirates

Offshore Company Formation

An Offshore company suits founders who need a holding structure, asset-protection vehicle, or international trading entity without a physical UAE office or visa requirement. It cannot trade directly within the UAE market.

  • No physical office requirement
  • Suited to holding companies and international trading
  • Does not carry UAE residency visa eligibility
  • Cannot trade directly within the UAE market

UAE Residency Visa Assistance

Most Free Zone and Mainland company packages include eligibility for an investor residency visa, and can extend to employees and dependents. Legalkarobar.com advises on visa eligibility and manages the application alongside your company formation.

  • Investor residency visa processing
  • Employee and dependent visa eligibility guidance
  • Coordinated with your license and office package
  • Golden Visa eligibility assessment where applicable

Corporate Bank Account Opening

Once your company is licensed, opening a UAE corporate bank account is the next step to start trading. Legalkarobar.com advises on banks best suited to your business activity and prepares the documentation banks require from newly formed companies.

  • Bank selection guidance based on your activity
  • Documentation prepared to bank requirements
  • Coordinated with your license and visa status
  • Suited to trading, holding, and services companies

VAT & Corporate Tax Registration

The UAE applies 5% VAT on applicable supplies and 9% Corporate Tax on taxable profits above AED 375,000, with qualifying Free Zone income potentially retaining a 0% rate. Legalkarobar.com assesses your eligibility and handles registration and ongoing filings.

  • VAT registration where turnover requires it
  • Corporate Tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority
  • Qualifying Free Zone income assessment
  • Ongoing filing tracked on a compliance calendar

Common Questions

UAE company formation — frequently asked questions

A UAE Free Zone company can typically be licensed within 3 to 7 working days once the trade name, activity, and shareholder documents are confirmed. Mainland and Offshore formations can take slightly longer.
A Free Zone company suits founders who don't need to trade directly with the UAE local market, offering 100% foreign ownership and fast setup. A Mainland LLC suits founders who want to trade directly across the UAE and take on government contracts.
Many Free Zones allow company formation entirely remotely. A visit is typically only required for biometrics if you're applying for a residency visa, which can often be scheduled after the company is already licensed.
Most Free Zone and Mainland company packages include eligibility for an investor residency visa, and the number of visas available depends on your license and office package.
Yes. The UAE applies Corporate Tax at 9% on taxable profits above AED 375,000, alongside VAT at 5% on applicable supplies. Many qualifying Free Zone companies can retain a 0% rate on qualifying income if conditions are met.
Free Zone companies never require a local sponsor. Mainland companies also now allow 100% foreign ownership for most business activities, though a small number of strategic activities still require Emirati participation.
