Home / Business setup
Business setup · UAECompany setup in the UAE.
Free zone or mainland, in any of the seven emirates. We handle the licence, the paperwork and the visas, from first conversation to Emirates ID.
Setting up a UAE company is a sequence of decisions: jurisdiction, licence type, activities, workspace and visas. Get one wrong and it shows up later, at the bank or at renewal.
We work through those decisions with you first, then prepare and submit the application and follow it until your licence, visas and Emirates ID are in hand. You get one point of contact and a written quote before anything starts.
How setup works.
Brief
A short conversation about what the company will do, how many visas you need, your timeline and where your clients are.
Structure
We map your business to the right licence type, activities and workspace, and confirm the current requirements with the authority.
Application
We prepare your documents, submit the application and follow up on approvals, so you are not chasing anyone.
Licence and visas
Licence issued, then establishment card, residence visas and Emirates ID, with help preparing for your bank account.
Questions we are asked.
What does Prime Horizon handle?
The whole route: choosing the jurisdiction, licence and activities, preparing documents, submitting the application, following up on approvals, then visas and Emirates ID, with help preparing for your bank account.
Free zone or mainland?
A free zone suits businesses serving international clients or other companies. Mainland suits businesses selling directly to the UAE public or needing premises that serve customers. We help you decide before anything is submitted.
Do I need to be in the UAE?
Much of the process can be done remotely. Residence visas need you in the UAE for the medical test and biometrics.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the jurisdiction, licence, workspace and visas. We send a written quote once we know what you need.
Can you help after the company is set up?
Yes. Renewals, extra visas and changes to your licence can all go through the same team.
