Ask a Question

What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone companies?

Mainland companies can trade anywhere inside the UAE and globally without geographic restrictions. Free Zone companies are ideal for 100% foreign ownership, import/export duty exemptions, and single-window operations within dedicated business free zones.

Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Dubai Mainland?

Yes! Under the updated UAE Commercial Companies Law, foreign nationals and international corporations can own 100% of most commercial, professional, and industrial mainland entities without needing a local Emirati sponsor or 51% local shareholder.

How long does it take to obtain a trade license and residency visa?

With YWE's fast-track PRO liaison, most standard Free Zone and Mainland licenses are issued within 2 to 4 working days after submitting passport copies. Residency visas and Emirates ID processing take an additional 3 to 5 working days with our VIP medical assistance.

Will I get guaranteed assistance with corporate bank account opening?

Yes. YWE has established direct corporate banking partnerships with leading UAE banks including Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Wio Bank, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) to assist our clients with documentation, compliance clearance, and multi-currency business accounts.

What is the difference between Local and Corporate Sponsorship?

An Individual Local Sponsor is a UAE national who acts as your local service agent or nominee partner with court-notarized side agreements. A Corporate Sponsor is a licensed UAE company, offering institutional security, perpetual continuity, and zero individual risk for foreign investors.

What documents are required to start a business in Dubai?

For individuals: Passport copy, passport-size photo, UAE tourist or residency visa copy, and 3 proposed trade name choices. For corporate entities: Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association (attested), and Board Resolution.
