Business setup Dubai-A&A Associate LLC There are several business setup consultants in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If you Google “business setup in Dubai”, you could easily get the links to most of them. How do you choose the best business setup consultant? It is recommended that you email all of them, specifying how you would like to be contacted. The right business setup consultant would be patient and responsive to all your queries. He/She would provide a breakup of the costs involved, so that you know exactly how much each service costs. This will help you to make an informed decision when comparing quotes. You should always listen to your gut. If any business setup consultant or provider of business setup services in Dubai is not really forthcoming with the information you seek, then that is a red flag that he/she is not transparent in his/her dealings. That alone might save you from hidden charges which you might come to know of only later. Here is a tip – ask them not only how much it costs to register a company and get a business license, but also how much it takes to get an investor visa (if you need one). If you need employment visas for the staff you plan to hire or dependent visas for your family members, ask them how much these would cost. The right business setup consultant would have this information ready and on hand with him/her. Other pointers include whether the business setup consultant is able to make a right-fit recommendation between the mainland and a free zone when opening your company. For most commercial activities, 100% ownership of the company is available only in a free zone. Does he/she recommend a free zone or the mainland, where you most likely will be required to have a Local Sponsor and pay an additional Local Sponsor Fee as part of the arrangement? Does he/she recommend Sharjah, which is only 20 minutes from Dubai and where company setup costs are cheaper than in Dubai? A business license issued from Sharjah allows you to do business in Dubai as well, so if you are trying to save on costs, you only need mention it the business setup consultant you are considering and see what he/she recommends. There is also another part that you need to pay attention to. Business formation in Dubai is the easy part. But you will also need a corporate bank account to make and receive payments with ease. Owing to strict anti-money laundering regulations in the United Arab Emirates, opening a bank is not as easy as it sounds. Only the best business setup consultants in Dubai can actually help you to open one and get you started on your journey to success.
