Everything about company setup, tax, banking and visas — searchable.
General
How long does it take to set up a company?
From 24 hours (UK) to 7–15 working days (India). Dubai free zones typically take 3–7 working days once documents are complete.
Do I need to travel to set up my company?
In most jurisdictions you can incorporate remotely. A visit may be needed for residence visas, biometrics or some bank accounts.
Can I own 100% of the company as a foreigner?
In the UAE free zones, Singapore, BVI, UK and USA — yes. In India and some UAE mainland activities, conditions apply.
Are your prices final?
Prices shown on the website are indicative starting prices. You receive a fixed written quote after we confirm your activity, structure and add-ons.
Tax & compliance
Will I pay tax in the new jurisdiction?
It depends on the jurisdiction, your activity and where the company is managed and controlled. We coordinate with licensed tax advisers for personalised advice.
Do I need an annual audit or accounts?
Most jurisdictions require annual financial statements; some require audits above certain thresholds. We provide accounting add-ons.
What is economic substance?
Rules requiring that certain activities be carried out with real presence (people, premises, expenditure) in the jurisdiction. See our Knowledge Hub for details.
Banking & payments
Can you guarantee a bank account?
No one can guarantee approval. We prepare your KYC pack and introduce banks and fintechs that fit your profile to maximise your chances.
How long does bank account opening take?
From a few days with some fintechs to several weeks with traditional banks.
Visas & residency
Can I get a UAE residence visa through my company?
Yes — a Dubai licence can support investor/partner and employee visas subject to the zone's rules and office requirements.
Does a Singapore, UK or US company give me residency?
Not automatically. Residency requires separate immigration routes, which we can point you to.
