Opening a company in the UAE is not a difficult task if you have an experienced guide in corporate operations in the UAE. We offer high-quality, prompt, and comprehensive assistance throughout the UAE, in all free trade zones, and within the UAE itself.

The UAE is divided into emirates, which in turn have created a large number of free trade zones, more than 40 as of 2026. To successfully launch your business, it's important to understand that some free trade zones offer similar conditions, while others are more suitable for specific types of activities. Our goal is to provide you with the most targeted information and select the most advantageous location for opening a company in the UAE for both Russians and citizens of any country. We already know the specifics of operating in each specific free trade zone, allowing us to select the necessary conditions that will minimize unnecessary costs and time-consuming operations.

Open a company in the UAE to start your business.

At the initial stage of preparing to implement a business plan, it's necessary to determine which free trade zone or mainland would be optimal for you. This primarily depends on the company's type of activity, as well as whether this activity requires additional permits and licenses in the UAE. The primary and predominant activities are wholesale and retail trade, but since we think big when starting a business, wholesale is the most suitable option. However, services should definitely not be excluded, as this is a significant sector of the UAE and any country's economy. Based on your specific goals, we can offer you the following free trade zones:

  • The IFZA zone is attractive for its stability and the absence of fluctuations in the legislation governing the free trade zone itself, with no changes planned for over 15 years. The ability to incorporate companies in the UAE, request documentation, obtain immigration cards for the company, and apply for entry visas without leaving home, along with expedited processing of residence visas, visas for dependents, and insurance coverage, makes opening a company very attractive. The cost of opening a company depends on several factors, including whether a visa is obtained, whether a physical office is required for operations, and the number of years the operating license is valid for. Our staff will review all of this information and offer you the most optimal solution.
  • Meydan, AFZ, Shams, UAQ, and RAKEZ Free Trade Zones – each offers unique conditions suitable for companies with various types of activities. Choosing a free trade zone is the most important decision for future operations and business development. The main advantages of working in free trade zones include 100% foreign ownership, expedited registration procedures, obtaining an EID, and submitting all documentation electronically without any visits to embassies and consulates.
  • To determine the priority of a particular zone, an initial analysis is conducted, taking into account your preferences. Since many free zones offer additional conditions depending on the visa type you choose (standard, silver, gold, or platinum), it's important to determine the most suitable one for you. The cost of company registration in the UAE ranges from AED 11,000 to AED 75,000.
