Questions

About areas and addresses

Yes. We set up companies for founders across Dubai. The right route depends on your activity and where your customers are, not only on where you live.

Your office address does. A company based in a mainland district such as Business Bay holds a licence from the Department of Economy and Tourism, while offices in JLT or DIFC sit inside those free zones. Many founders who live in residential communities choose a free zone licence with a flexi-desk, or a mainland office elsewhere. See company formation in Dubai.

At our office, B1 Mall, Shop 3, opposite Mall of the Emirates. Call +971 52 222 2594 to arrange a time.
