You are paying for infrastructure and reputation. DMCC maintains physical commodity facilities, a large business district, an events programme and a regulatory framework that international counterparties and banks recognise. For a consultant billing UK clients that premium is hard to justify. For a gold trader whose bank is asking hard questions, it is often the difference between an approved account and a refusal.
Yes. DMCC companies must submit audited financial statements prepared by an approved auditor as part of the annual renewal. Budget AED 5,000–15,000 a year depending on transaction volume. See audit services.
For standard, non-regulated activities with complete documents, expect the licence within three to ten working days. Residence visas add a further two to four weeks after issuance, and corporate bank account opening runs three to eight weeks in parallel. Regulated activities requiring external approval take longer, and we tell you how much longer before you commit.
Yes. We handle the activity selection, name reservation, application, licence issuance, establishment and immigration cards, residence visas, corporate bank introduction, and the corporate tax and VAT registrations that follow. You get one point of contact and one itemised quote covering all of it.
