RIGHT SOLUTION CENTRE
Business setup in Dubai · RSC
Start with a clear plan for your activity, company structure and the work needed to get established.
RSC helps business owners explore their Dubai setup options and coordinate the agreed registration steps. Whether you are starting a new venture or expanding an existing business, your enquiry starts with our team.
Choose the route around the business
Your activity, customers, premises and visa requirements help determine the appropriate route. The right choice depends on how the business will work in practice.
A mainland setup may suit a business planning to serve customers and operate across the UAE, subject to its licensed activities and applicable approvals.
Free zones offer different activities, facilities and setup arrangements. The zone and licence must fit your intended business and how you will serve your customers.
Company formation, residency, banking and tax are separate matters. We clarify which services are included and what requires a separate application or review.
How RSC can help
We agree the work around your proposed business. Your enquiry and communication stay with RSC, with any delivery arrangements explained before you engage us.
Discuss your proposed activity, customers, ownership and management to identify the setup options worth considering.
Organise the information and documentation for the agreed registration route, and coordinate applications and follow-up.
Identify the next steps to consider for banking, residency, accounting, tax registrations and renewals, and agree any further support separately.
A clear process
Tell us what you plan to do in Dubai, where you are based and what stage you have reached. You don’t need to know which licence to choose.
We set out the proposed route, our services and fees, relevant authority charges, and the documents or checks required.
We coordinate the agreed work and explain what comes next. Timing depends on the activity, completed documentation and relevant approvals.
Common questions
A useful first conversation starts with your proposed activity and how you intend to operate.
No. Tell us about your activity, customers, ownership and intended operations. We can help identify the options to review before you commit to a setup route.
Full foreign ownership is available for many activities, including many mainland activities. The position depends on the activity, legal structure and applicable rules, so we check eligibility for the proposed setup.
Some steps may be coordinated remotely, but requirements vary. Identity checks, residency procedures or bank onboarding may require your participation or presence. We explain the expected process for your chosen route.
These are separate applications with their own requirements and decisions. We explain any agreed assistance in the proposal. Company formation does not guarantee a bank account or visa approval.
Not automatically. UAE corporate tax applies, and free zone treatment depends on specific conditions. VAT and other obligations may also be relevant. Your own tax residency and any overseas business connections need separate consideration.
Costs depend on the activity, jurisdiction, legal structure, premises and any visa requirements. We explain the proposed services, our fees, relevant authority charges and recurring costs before work starts.
RSC handles your enquiry and discusses the proposed work with you. Any involvement of local specialists or other providers, and their role in delivery, will be explained before you engage us.
