Why Set Up Business in Dubai?

Book A Consultation
Dubai offers excellent advantages to private companies as they are 100% exempted from private tax in Dubai. Though a corporate tax was introduced in June 2023, it is effective only for mainland companies. This means companies in free zones can qualify for tax exemption, for which certain requirements must be met. Also, it only applies to the annual profits of more than AED 375,000 – which means profits above the mentioned amount are taxable. But salaries and other office costs might help you lower your profits and reduce taxes. Also, if your annual turnover is less than AED 3 Million, you can file for a general exemption from corporate tax.
Coming to the Mainland, this is one of the regions most preferred for establishing a business in the UAE. Two subject areas must be classified into two options –
  • Commercial (Trade and Industry)
  • Professional (Service Providers and Consultancy)
Here’s why the Mainland is the most preferred zone for business setup in UAE
  • Low corporate tax
  • Unlimited visa eligibility
  • 100% ownership possible
  • No income tax for UAE residents
  • No share capital deposit is necessary
  • Business relationships with all Emirati and GCC companies
Setting up a business in UAE can be a daunting task with several formalities to be fulfilled, in addition to brainstorming for your business expansion and growth. So, AIMS UAE will help you manage all the formalities and paperwork while you can brainstorm.

What is the Cost of Business Setup in UAE?

The cost of business setup in UAE depends on the regions, such as the Mainland and free zone.

Free Zone
The company formation cost in Dubai depends on the respective activity, the free zone, and the required visa eligibility. Hence, the cost varies depending on the factors mentioned earlier. A UAE company setup costs around AED 14,900 and AED 23,000 (which might or might not include visa services).

The cost of setting up a company in Dubai depends on several factors, including the region you selected, the type of business, the licence number, and the registration process. In addition to this, the cost also involves several shareholders, and if any one of them is classified as a corporate shareholder – it means they represent a foreign company.
