The 6 steps for your Free Zone / Mainland
Every step handled by a local advisor — you only sign where needed.
Step 01
Choice of jurisdiction
We choose between a Free Zone (for most international businesses, full control and 0% personal income tax) or Mainland (to operate directly in the Emirati market).
Step 02
Name reservation and licence
We reserve the name and process the commercial licence from the free zone authority (e.g. DMCC, IFZA, RAKEZ) corresponding to your activity.
Step 03
Documentation and shareholders
We prepare the documentation of the shareholders and of the local director where applicable (structure according to jurisdiction).
Step 04
Free zone approval
The authority approves the incorporation the same day or within days, depending on the zone and the activity.
Step 05
Corporate bank account
We open the corporate bank account in Dubai to operate and receive international payments.
Step 06
You start operating
You receive the licence, the account and your advisor in Spanish. Incorporation in Dubai is among the fastest: 1-3 weeks.
Three points that raise the most questions
NIF / NIE of the partners
In the free zones there is no personal income tax (0%). Depending on the jurisdiction, a local shareholder or agent is required according to the structure chosen.
Bank account and capital
The corporate bank account in Dubai is opened as part of the process. The capital required depends on the free zone, from ~€0 in some.
Buying portfolio companies
Dubai is a global hub for wealth and investment structures: with 0% personal income tax and 9% corporate tax only above AED 375,000 of profit, it is a common destination for grouping international investments.
