Six questions. At the end you get a jurisdiction, a shortlist of free zones where relevant, the approvals you will need, and what your costs will be made of. It takes about two minutes.
Before we start
Who should we prepare this for?
Two fields. We need them so we can send you the written quote that follows the recommendation, and so we can call if your answers raise something worth saying out loud.
What will the business actually do?
Pick the closest match. If two apply, choose the one that will earn most of the revenue.
Where would you like to be based?
This is a preference, not a constraint — some activities decide it for you.
Will you sell directly to customers inside the UAE mainland?
This single answer moves more companies between mainland and free zone than anything else.
How many residence visas will you need in year one?
Including yourself. Visa quota is tied to the facility you take, so this changes the package.
