  • Modern infrastructure, logistics, and transport links

1. Market Entry & Business Setup Strategy Feasibility Study & Market Research

Before launching, we conduct an in-depth market feasibility analysis covering competition, pricing, customer demographics, and regulatory frameworks.
Understanding local market behavior helps determine whether a Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore structure best suits your investment model and ROI goals.

Entry Strategy

Dubai offers multiple structures for international companies:

Mainland LLC – trade directly across the UAE with full access to the local market.

Free Zone Entity – enjoy 100% ownership, profit repatriation, and corporate tax advantages.

Branch or Representative Office – extend an existing company’s international presence.

We help you select the right jurisdiction (DMCC, DIFC, DAFZA, Meydan, RAKEZ) and ensure that all licensing and ownership models comply with UAE laws.

2. Legal, Licensing & Regulatory Setup

Setting up your company in Dubai involves multiple legal and administrative steps.
Our team manages the process end-to-end:
