Business Setup in Dubai- Consulting & Beyond

Aurion is an 18-year-old, award-winning business setup consultancy in the UAE. We help global investors choose the right company formation package from 45+ free zones, and we provide end-to-end company formation and allied services — designed to fit each investor's exact requirements.

The cost of company formation in the UAE depends on the jurisdiction (free zone, mainland, or offshore), the business activity, the office type, and the visa quota required. There is no one-size-fits-all number. Aurion assesses your specific requirements and recommends the most cost-effective package. Contact us for a tailored quote.

The UAE offers a uniquely attractive environment for global investors: political stability, zero personal income tax, a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with 137 countries, a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with several countries, and the busiest international airport and one of the largest seaports in the world. It is the trading hub of the Middle East, with a robust banking sector and easy company registration procedures.

Fees can be paid via Pay By Link — an invoice is sent and you can pay instantly by debit or credit card. We also accept online bank transfer, cheque, and point-of-sale payment at our office.

No. In the mainland, virtual offices are available at minimal cost. In free zones, options include virtual offices, shared desks, physical offices, and warehouses. A physical office is not a mandatory requirement for most business types.

There are three types: Commercial (for trading companies), Professional (for consultancy and service companies), and Industrial (for manufacturing companies). The right license depends on your business activity.

The process typically involves: choosing a business activity → selecting a jurisdiction → reserving a trade name → submitting required documents → applying for a trade license → applying for a residence visa and bank account → obtaining any additional clearances (customs, chamber of commerce, etc.)

Because licensing authorities vary significantly in cost and requirements, it is always best to work with a credible business consultant like Aurion to get current, accurate advice and end-to-end support.

Aurion has 18 years of experience and a team including dedicated Agents in 8 Countries. We don't just file paperwork; we design the right formation strategy for your business goals and handle the entire process, including compliance and accounting.
