UAE Company
During the years, we all got used to simple offshore company registration around the globe. When considering registering a company in the UAE, we find ourselves in a difficult situation – while browsing the web inside out for information, the mere question of jurisdictions turns out to be too complex. There’s simply no time to sit down and study the material for hours to learn the differences between UAE Free Zone, Offshore or Mainland. Because of this, understanding the Middle Eastern regulations and jurisdictions in the context of your business model and structure tends to be quite confusing. But now, you can simply skip that!
VGV Team is here to help you understand the Dubai company formation and provide guidance on what type of company fits you best.
First of all, you will need to answer these seven questions:
- Do I want to operate from within the country or will my business operations be set outside of the UAE?
- Do I plan to open an operational office in the UAE and employ personnel?
- Do I need a UAE Residential visa and why do I need it?
- Do I need to obtain a UAE Tax Residency?
- Do I have to visit the UAE minimum two times a year?
- Do I plan to work with UAE registered companies?
- Do I need to have a corporate account in the UAE?
If you answered No to all of the questions, meaning that you simply want to have a company with a corporate bank account for operation, then you need a simple UAE offshore company.
If you answered Yes to some of the questions, click here to know more or order your consultation today!
The United Arab Emirates has seven Emirates. Each of them has several Free Trade Zones intended for different types of activities and industries. Such companies are 100% freehold by foreign clients where they can operate from within the selected Freezone.
Each Emirate offers a Mainland company that requires 51% Local individual sponsorship (Local Nominee) and 49% held by a foreign client. These companies allow you to operate all over the United Arab Emirates without limitations to „Free Zone Borders“, obtain licenses for services, trading, shops, hotel & restaurant business, banking licenses and other types of businesses subject to approval of relevant authorities.

Estonia is one of the most prolific economies of the European Union thanks to the recent innovations enabled by the government, such as the E-Residency Program, which enables foreign investors to open companies here without coming to the country. The OU (Limited Liability Company) is the most popular type of company established in Estonia because they are less expensive and easier to run, and therefore make a good choice for small and medium-sized businesses.
