Affordable Dubai Company Setup Packages
If you are thinking of setting up a business in Dubai, it is best to get in touch with a provider of business setup services. They will tell you exactly how much it would cost for the business activity you have in mind. There are about 2100 designated commercial activities possible in Dubai, and it is possible to get a business license for one, two, or more of them. The higher the number of commercial activities permitted by your business license, the higher will be the cost of the business license.
It is also important to note that not all business activities can be carried out everywhere. For instance, commercial activities like banking / finance / investment cannot be undertaken by a Limited Liability Company – and only Limited Liability Company structures are allowed in free zones. So depending on the business activity you have in mind, a provider of business setup services in Dubai can let you know whether the mainland or a free zone would be more suited to your business.
The right company structure for your business is also dependent on the type of ownership you wish to have. In a Limited Liability Company, everyone is an equal business owner. That means if there are four business owners in a Limited Liability Company, each owns 25% of the company. If you wanted to have minority shareholders and majority shareholders in your company, a provider of business setup in Dubai mainland can help you set up a Private Joint Stock Company.
Why Choose a Provider of Business Setup Services in Dubai?
A provider of business setup in Dubai can also draw up the company formation documents. They may be known as Memorandum of Association if there is only a single owner for the company, or Articles of Association if there are multiple owners. The company formation documents contain the name of the company, the name(s) of the business owner(s), and the reason why it is being established. The company formation documents must also be notarized by a Notary Public to lend them legal validity.
Not only can a provider of business setup services in Dubai do this for you, they can also reserve the trade name you have in mind for your company. This means that when they lodge an application for company registration on your behalf, the trade name will be allotted exclusively to you and not anyone who may apply for the same trade name before you. There are rules pertaining to company nomenclature in the United Arab Emirates, and your business setup services provider can let you know of the details.
Those who specialize in mainland company formation in Dubai will also get your Tenancy Agreement registered so that it becomes a legally binding Tenancy Contract or Ejari, which too must be submitted for the purpose of company registration. The business setup services provider that you choose to have in your corner will also let you know that you need to rent about 100 square feet of commercial space for every employee you plan to
hire on your team.
The Tenancy Contract is replaced by a Lease Agreement in the case of free zones.
