UAE Licensing

A fast-track business setup option is now available in the UAE, allowing for the formation of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) within approximately one hour. The process is fully digital and enables incorporation in a Dubai-based free zone under a single-shareholder structure, with bank account setup also supported.

This structure is particularly relevant for solo entrepreneurs and freelancers across a range of sectors from fintech to ecommerce and consultancy.

Key highlights include:

  • Single-shareholder LLC with 100% ownership and limited liability
  • Digital licensing process completed within the same day - no physical paperwork
  • Access to over 1,800 permitted business activities, with the ability to combine up to three activity groups under one license
  • Issuance of core incorporation documents: Business License, Share Register, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Facility Lease Agreement, and Certificate of Formation.
  • Visa and bank account setup can be initiated on the same day

This offers a straightforward, compliant entry point for setting up a UAE-based entity with minimal lead time.
