FAQ
Questions we are often asked.
Do you issue licences or open bank accounts?
No. Licences are issued by the relevant authority and banks make their own decisions. We coordinate the process and introduce you to trusted licensed partners.
Mainland or free zone - which is better?
It depends on where your customers are, the activities you need and your ownership structure. We compare both objectively.
How long does set-up take?
Free zone set-up can be completed in a few weeks; mainland and regulated activities typically take longer. We confirm the timeline during scoping.
Do you help with tax and VAT registration?
We coordinate with licensed tax advisers and corporate service providers for VAT, corporate tax and compliance matters.
