Why the UAE

Personal income tax

Keep what you earn. Individuals pay no personal income tax in the UAE — ideal for founders, consultants and digital businesses.

100%

Foreign ownership

Own your company outright. Freezone and most mainland activities now allow full foreign ownership — no local sponsor required.

3–5

Days to your licence

With documents in order, we can have your trade licence issued in days, not weeks — your presence in the UAE is usually not required.

They handled my freezone licence, two visas and the bank account without me flying in once. Every step was explained, every cost was upfront.

Why work with ABDT

Anyone can sell you a licence. Few set you up properly.

The wrong jurisdiction, a missed renewal, or a visa filed incorrectly costs founders real money later. We get the structure right the first time.

Going it alone or with a cheap agent

  • Wrong freezone chosen — costly to fix later
  • Hidden government fees appear after you pay
  • Visa and Emirates ID steps stall for weeks
  • No one answers once the licence is issued
  • Missed renewals lead to fines and blocks

Setting up with ABDT

  • The right structure matched to your activity & budget
  • One transparent quote — government fees itemised
  • Visas, medical, Emirates ID & PRO handled for you
  • A direct contact who actually picks up the phone
  • Renewal reminders so you never miss a deadline

Let's map out your UAE setup — free, no obligation.

Client experiences

Founders who started with us

Clear, honest advice from the first call. They steered me away from a freezone that wouldn't have suited my business — saved me money I didn't know I'd waste.

Answers

Questions founders ask us

Can't find yours? Ask us directly — it's free.

Company formation
Do I need to be in the UAE to set up?+
For most freezone setups, no. We can form the company and issue the licence remotely. You only need to enter the UAE if you're applying for a residence visa, for the medical and biometrics stage.
How long does it take?+
With documents ready, a freezone licence can be issued in roughly 3–5 working days. Visa and Emirates ID steps add about 1–2 weeks depending on the authority and medical scheduling.
Mainland or freezone — which is right for me?+
It depends on whether you need to trade directly in the local UAE market (mainland) or mainly serve international/online clients (freezone, often cheaper). We recommend the best fit in your free consultation.
Visas & residency
How many visas can my licence sponsor?+
It varies by jurisdiction and package. Many freezone packages start with 1–6 visa allocations; mainland depends on office space. We confirm your exact quota before you choose a package.
Can I sponsor my family?+
Yes. Once you hold a residence visa and meet the salary/criteria, we can arrange dependent visas for your spouse and children.
Costs & tax
Are there hidden government fees?+
No. Your quote itemises our service fee and every government cost separately, so you see exactly where each dirham goes before you commit.
Will my company pay Corporate Tax?+
UAE Corporate Tax is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000. Small Business Relief and qualifying freezone income can reduce or remove this. We register you with the FTA and advise on your specific position.
