FAQs

Business finances are the roots of your success tree.

How long is a trade license valid for?

A trade license in the UAE is typically valid for one year. It must be renewed annually to ensure compliance with UAE laws and regulations. SetHub, a trusted name in business setup services in Dubai, can assist you in streamlining the renewal process to avoid penalties or disruptions.

The time required to issue a trade license varies depending on the type of license and the emirate. On average, it can take anywhere from 1 to 10 working days. SetHub ensures that the process is expedited by handling documentation and liaising with authorities on your behalf, making the company formation in Dubai process hassle-free.

The number of visas you can obtain depends on several factors, including your office size, business activity, and licensing authority guidelines. Typically, the larger the office space (measured in square feet), the more visas you can apply for. SetHub can help assess your requirements and guide you accordingly as part of our business setup in Dubai solutions.

A trade license in the UAE can accommodate up to 50 shareholders, depending on the legal structure of your business. For instance, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) can have multiple shareholders, while a sole proprietorship is limited to one. We can advise you on the best structure for your business setup in Dubai.

Most businesses in the UAE no longer require proof of paid-up capital during the setup process. However, this may vary based on the type of business activity and jurisdiction. Our team at SetHub specializes in company formation in Dubai and can provide clarity based on your specific business model.

Yes, holding a valid trade license is a prerequisite for opening a corporate bank account in the UAE. Banks may also require additional documents, such as a Memorandum of Association (MOA), tenancy contracts, and shareholder details. SetHub can connect you with banking partners to simplify the account-opening process, an integral part of business setup services in Dubai.

Yes, businesses operating in the UAE are required to register for Corporate Tax if their taxable income exceeds the threshold of AED 375,000 annually. Even if your business income is below this threshold, it is advisable to register. SetHub provides expert guidance on compliance and registration, which is critical for successful company formation in Dubai.

Yes, a trade license is mandatory for conducting any trading or commercial activities in the UAE. Operating without a license can result in fines and penalties. SetHub can help you obtain the appropriate trade license as part of our comprehensive business setup services in Dubai.

Yes, you can sell goods online with a valid trade license, but your license must specify e-commerce or online selling as part of your business activities. Our team can help you include these activities during the application process or modify an existing license, ensuring a smooth business setup in Dubai.

The UAE Golden Visa is granted to investors, entrepreneurs, specialized talents, researchers, outstanding students, and individuals with significant contributions in their field. SetHub can evaluate your eligibility and guide you through the application process, aligning with our business setup services in Dubai.

Yes, expatriates can have 100% ownership of their company in many sectors across the UAE, especially in Free Zones and certain mainland business activities. We can help you identify the most suitable jurisdiction for your business setup in Dubai.

The required documents include:

  • Passport copies of shareholders
  • Emirates ID (if applicable)
  • Proof of residence (e.g., utility bill)
  • Business plan (for some jurisdictions)
  • Initial approval documents from relevant authorities

SetHub provides a checklist tailored to your business activity to make the company formation in Dubai process seamless.

The cheapest trade license in the UAE typically starts from AED 5,750 in selected Free Zones. These low-cost licenses often include 0 visa quota and shared workspace access. If you’re looking for the most affordable business setup in Dubai, our consultants can recommend the right package based on your industry and visa needs.

 

Company registration in Dubai involves selecting your business activity, choosing a legal structure (Free Zone or Mainland), reserving a trade name, getting initial approval, and submitting license and visa applications. The process can be completed in 5–10 business days with the help of professional consultants like SetHub.

The key difference lies in ownership and market access.

  • A Freezone business setup allows 100% foreign ownership and is ideal for international trade or remote services.

  • A Mainland setup (via DED) allows you to operate across the UAE but may require office space and different licensing fees.

SetHub helps you compare both based on your goals, costs, and activity type.

With the right documents and support, business formation in Dubai typically takes 5–10 working days. Free Zones are usually faster, while Mainland companies may take slightly longer due to notary and tenancy requirements. SetHub streamlines the process to save you time.

Yes, you can open a company in Dubai without a local partner. Most Free Zones and many Mainland activities now allow 100% foreign ownership. This makes it easy for expats to launch businesses independently while enjoying full control and profit rights.

Business setup consultants in Dubai like SetHub assist with:

  • Choosing the right license and jurisdiction

  • Handling legal paperwork and documentation

  • Visa processing and bank account setup

  • Providing office or Flexi-desk space

  • Ensuring compliance with UAE laws

We act as your end-to-end partner for launching a company in the UAE — fast and hassle-free.
