Guided Process for Launching a Company in the UAE
Company formation in Dubai goes far beyond filling out forms—success relies on local knowledge, regulatory awareness, and step-by-step guidance. At ITA Consultants, we offer a fully managed approach, helping you confidently handle every legal, procedural, and operational stage of the company formation journey.
Your setup process begins with a detailed business planning session, where our consultants analyze your objectives and advise on the most effective setup: mainland, free zone, or offshore. Based on your activity and expansion plans, we help define the optimal license type and organizational format.
We help you pinpoint your primary business operations and determine the ideal legal form—be it an LLC, sole proprietorship, or a free zone entity. This step is crucial, as it affects your legal responsibilities, shareholding rights, and licensing conditions within the UAE.
Next, we assist in selecting a compliant and distinctive company name, ensuring it meets UAE legal criteria and reflects your brand’s purpose. We manage the submission and approval process through the Department of Economic Development (DED) or the respective free zone authority.
Obtain preliminary approval from the licensing authority. This step involves submitting identity documents, business details, and—if needed—activity-specific pre-approvals.
Depending on the structure, we help prepare and notarize the Memorandum of Association (LLC) or Local Service Agent agreement (professional license) with full legal compliance.
Choose a workspace that matches your needs—from a virtual office to a full commercial unit. Our team facilitates the tenancy process and registers your lease with Ejari (for Dubai mainland) or the respective Free Zone authority.
Once all verified documents and approvals are compiled—including your tenancy contract—we submit your application to the designated authority. Upon approval, you receive your business license and can proceed with visa applications and corporate bank account setup.
