Frequently Asked Questions?
How long does it take to set up a business in Dubai?
Most companies can be registered within a few working days once the required documents are in place. Timelines vary by jurisdiction and business activity — our team works to make it as fast as possible.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Dubai?
Yes. Full foreign ownership is available across the free zones and for most mainland activities, so you can own your business outright without a local partner.
Do I need a physical office to get a license?
Not always. Many free zones offer flexi-desk and co-working options that satisfy licensing requirements, which is a cost-effective way to get started.
What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone?
A mainland license lets you trade anywhere in the UAE and with government bodies, while a free zone offers 100% ownership, tax incentives and a fast, industry-focused setup. We help you choose the best fit.
Can Tafeel help with visas and bank accounts?
Absolutely. Beyond your trade license we handle residency visas, Emirates ID, PRO services, and corporate bank account opening — a complete setup under one roof.
