Quick answers to the most common questions we get from founders considering UAE company formation.
Dubai business setup starts at AED 5,555 for a free zone company (IFZA, SHAMS, Ajman) and AED 16,999 for a mainland LLC via DED/DET. Premium free zones like DMCC, Meydan, and DIFC range from AED 10,800 to AED 45,000 Year 1. All Noble Core packages include government fees, service fees, and our advisory — no hidden costs.
Yes. Since June 2021, UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 26 allows 100% foreign ownership across both free zones and mainland LLCs for over 1,000 business activities. No local sponsor or Emirati partner is required for most sectors. Oil & gas, defence, and security services are the main exceptions.
Free zone trade licenses can be issued in 24 hours to 5 business days (IFZA is fastest). Mainland licenses via DED take 5–7 days. Visa processing adds 5–10 days for medical, biometrics, and Emirates ID. Noble Core delivers the complete stack — license + visa + bank account — in 3–7 business days on average.
A free zone company operates within a specific free zone (DMCC, IFZA, JAFZA, etc.) with 0% tax on qualifying income and simplified setup — but cannot trade directly with UAE mainland customers without a distributor. A mainland company (issued by DED/DET) can trade anywhere in the UAE, open retail locations, and win government contracts. Pick mainland for UAE-focused B2C; pick free zone for international trade, consulting, and holding structures.
Since June 2023, UAE Corporate Tax is 0% on profits up to AED 375,000, then 9% above that threshold. Free zone companies can qualify as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) and pay 0% on qualifying income. All UAE businesses must register with the Federal Tax Authority — late registration triggers an AED 10,000 penalty. See Corporate Tax services.
Yes. The 10-year Golden Visa is available for investors (AED 2M+ in UAE property or AED 500K+ in a ministry-approved business), entrepreneurs with approved startups, Specialized Talent in science/medicine/AI, and top students. Family sponsorship is included. Noble Core processes Golden Visas starting from AED 18,500 including government fees.
Yes — we're one of the few UAE-based consultancies with a real Riyadh office. We handle KSA company formation, commercial registration, Iqama processing, and ongoing compliance under Saudi Vision 2030 rules. 100% foreign ownership is available in most sectors. Cross-border GCC structures (UAE + KSA) are our specialty.
Not for formation. We complete license, bank account intro, and document preparation 100% remotely for founders in 40+ countries. The only in-person visit is typically for visa stamping (biometrics + Emirates ID) — usually 1–2 days in Dubai.
Depends on activity and scale. IFZA and SHAMS — cheapest for SMEs. Meydan — mid-tier for tech/consulting. DMCC — gold standard for commodities/trading. DIFC — finance and funds. JAFZA — logistics and warehousing. DAFZA — aviation. RAKEZ — manufacturing. Use our Setup Simulator for a personalized recommendation.
Post-formation, most businesses need ongoing PRO services including MOHRE labour cards, GDRFA visa renewals, Emirates ID renewals, MoFA document attestations, and DED amendments. Noble Core includes PRO services in Growth and Enterprise packages, or as a monthly retainer (from AED 3,500). Book PRO services.
Yes. We partner with Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Wio, RAK Bank, HSBC, and FAB. Our 95% first-time approval rate comes from activity-matching, pre-screening KYC documents, and direct relationship manager intros. Typical timeline: 7–14 days for UAE banks, 2–4 weeks for international (HSBC, Standard Chartered). See banking services.
