Discuss Your Business Plans
Your company structure should reflect how you will operate. We help you assess activities, customers, ownership, premises and staffing before coordinating the relevant setup steps.
For established businesses and founders expanding from India, we connect the Dubai setup process with parent-company documentation, relocation plans and India-side compliance support.
Start with your licensed activity, where you intend to serve customers, and the facilities and visas your team may need. These factors help narrow down which authority and company route to investigate.
| Route | May be worth exploring when… | Confirm before applying |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai mainland | Your activity needs a mainland licence, or you plan to operate in the UAE market through activities permitted by that licence. | Activity eligibility, premises and Ejari needs, visa capacity, external approvals and recurring charges. |
| Free zone | A free-zone authority's activities, facilities and package options match your business model and intended customer markets. | What the licence allows, facility and visa allocation, permitted mainland-market arrangements, annual renewals and tax conditions. |
| Offshore | You are considering a specific holding or international structure rather than an ordinary UAE operating company. | Registry rules, permitted activities, reporting, banking, tax treatment, property eligibility and whether visas are available. |
This overview is not a substitute for checking the rules for your proposed activity. Trilliant can help you compare the questions to ask and coordinate the setup support you need.
View the detailed route comparisonA useful first-year estimate should show the major cost components, not only a starting licence price. Ask what is included, which charges are paid to an authority or provider, and what may recur at renewal.
Authority registration, the selected activity, legal form and any external approvals can affect the initial amount.
Premises, desk or facility packages differ by jurisdiction and activity. Confirm any lease, deposit or Ejari requirements.
Visa-related charges depend on eligibility, the number and type of applications, the facility package and required procedures.
Renewals, PRO work, accounting, tax registration and other optional services may have separate fees.
