Why Dubai?

Tax that actually works for you

The headline reason people look at the UAE is tax — and it's real. There's 0% personal income tax, and most personal investment income isn't taxed either. Businesses now pay 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000 (0% below that), and some qualifying freezone income can still be 0% where strict conditions are met.

It's no longer "tax-free" for companies — but for most founders it remains one of the most competitive regimes anywhere, especially paired with a clean exit from a higher-tax home country.

Set up fast, own it all

100% foreign ownership is standard in freezones and now widely available on the mainland too. A straightforward freezone licence can be issued in around a week, with your residence visa following shortly after.

Residency for the whole family

Your company can sponsor your residence visa, and you can sponsor your spouse and children. For longer-term security, the Golden Visa gives 5–10 years with no employer sponsor and no risk of lapsing through long absences.

A true global hub

Two major international airports, a time zone that overlaps Europe and Asia in the same working day, English as the language of business, and some of the busiest ports and air-cargo hubs in the world. It's built for companies that operate across borders.

A base you can run from anywhere

You don't have to live here to benefit. A growing number of our clients — online founders, consultants, creators and other location-independent people — base their business in the UAE (company, residency, banking and a 0% personal-tax base) while living and travelling wherever they like. It's the serious, stable alternative to running everything informally on a tourist visa from Bali or Lisbon: a real jurisdiction, real banking, treaty access, and Golden or freelance visas that hold up through long spells abroad.

A life worth moving for

Safety, international schools, modern healthcare and year-round sun. For families, the lifestyle is often what turns "should we?" into "let's go."
