Business setup in the UAE looks simple until you realize how many decisions are permanent or expensive to reverse. Mainland or free zone? Which free zone? Sole establishment, LLC, or holding structure? Which activities will the license actually permit? What about banking, visa quotas, and corporate tax exposure? At Bonyad, we don’t sell licenses — we advise on the structural choices, then connect you with the right execution partners. The result is a setup designed for where your business is going, not just for today’s transaction.
Q: Free zone or mainland — which is better? A: There’s no universal answer. It depends on your customers, activities, visa needs, and tax exposure. Our job is to make this decision data-driven, not opinion-driven.
Q: Do you handle the actual license processing? A: We advise and coordinate. Licensed setup agents execute the paperwork — but under a plan we’ve designed and reviewed.
Q: How does UAE corporate tax affect my setup? A: Significantly, depending on jurisdiction and qualifying activities. We factor this in from day one rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Q: Can you help with banking introductions? A: Yes. We work with banking partners across UAE banks and prepare your application materials for the highest approval likelihood.
