    Free Zone companies can be licensed in 3–5 working days. Mainland companies typically take 5–7 working days depending on the activity and any regulatory approvals required. Offshore structures take 5–10 working days. Our streamlined process ensures the fastest possible turnaround.
    Typically: a valid passport copy, Emirates ID (if UAE resident), proof of address, and a business plan outline. For corporate shareholders, additional corporate documents will be required. We provide a full document checklist during your free consultation.
