Business Formation & Company Incorporation in the UAE

It depends on the jurisdiction and your business activity. Freezone and Mainland incorporations typically take 3 to 7 working days once documents are submitted, and Offshore structures 3 to 5. Timelines are indicative — authority processing schedules vary, and we confirm a realistic timeline with you at the initiation stage.

It depends on where you intend to trade, whether you need residency visas, and how you plan to hold ownership. Mainland gives you direct access to the UAE market with no trade restrictions; Freezone is tax-efficient and faster to set up for international businesses; Offshore suits asset holding and privacy rather than trading. We assess your business model before recommending a pathway, rather than defaulting everyone to the same structure.

Formation costs are made up of government fees and professional service fees. We give you a transparent breakdown of both before you engage, so there are no surprises mid-process. We don't publish a single flat number because the real cost depends on your jurisdiction, activity, and visa count — a consultant quotes you directly.

No — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. OMC acts as a facilitator and advisor. Approval decisions rest solely with the relevant authority. What we control is the quality of your file: documents prepared, verified, and submitted to exact authority specifications, which is what makes approval straightforward in practice.

Formation is the starting point, not the finish line. We continue with visa processing, corporate bank account support, VAT and corporate tax registration, and ongoing bookkeeping — all through the same OMC relationship, so you aren't handed off to a different provider for each step.

Yes. Licence expiry, visa renewals, Emirates ID, and filing deadlines are all tracked and flagged well before they fall due, so you don't discover a lapse after the fact.
