FAQ

Common Questions Answered

If your question isn't here, WhatsApp us — we respond within the hour.

How long does setup really take?

At Klashra, our average is 7 working days to issued trade license. The fastest we have done is 3 days (IFZA, straightforward activity). Cases needing special approvals like healthcare can take 4–6 weeks. We always give a realistic timeline upfront at no obligation.

Can I own 100% as a foreign national?

Yes. Since the UAE Commercial Companies Law amendment in 2021, 100% foreign ownership is permitted for the vast majority of activities on Dubai Mainland. Free Zones have always allowed 100% foreign ownership. Only a small set of strategic activities retain local participation requirements.

Do I need to live in Dubai to set up?

No. You can set up a Free Zone or Offshore company fully remotely via digital signatures and document couriering. However, for a UAE residency visa you will need to be physically present for biometrics and medical tests at some point in the process.

Mainland vs Free Zone — what's the difference?

Mainland companies can trade freely anywhere in the UAE — with local consumers, businesses, and government entities. Free Zone companies are ideal for international trading but face restrictions when dealing directly with the UAE mainland. The choice depends on your business model and target customers.

Which Free Zone is the cheapest?

IFZA and RAKEZ consistently offer the most cost-effective packages, starting from AED 8,000–12,000. However, the right freezone depends on your activities, visa needs, and banking requirements. Our free consultation identifies the most cost-effective appropriate option for your specific situation.

What happens after I get my license?

Your trade license is the beginning. You also need: establishment card, investor visa, medical test, Emirates ID, corporate bank account, and VAT/corporate tax registration. Klashra manages all of this — this is where most clients find the most value in our partnership.

How much does UAE setup cost in total?

A no-visa Free Zone company starts from AED 12,000–15,000. With 1 investor visa: AED 16,000–22,000. Dubai Mainland LLC with 1 visa: AED 22,000–28,000. WhatsApp the word COST for your personalized AI estimate, or book a free consultation for a full itemized quote.

What is UAE Corporate Tax?

The UAE introduced 9% Corporate Tax from June 2023, applying to businesses with taxable income above AED 375,000 per year. Qualifying Free Zone businesses may be eligible for 0% on qualifying income. All businesses must register with the Federal Tax Authority — Klashra handles your registration and annual filing.
