Do You Have Any Questions?

Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services and business formation in the UAE.

01. What business setups does Apex Biz offer?

We assist entrepreneurs and investors with comprehensive company formation services in Free Zones, Mainland jurisdictions, and Offshore territories within the UAE. Whether you're a freelancer, SME, or multinational corporation, we guide you through the legal, operational, and licensing processes to get your business up and running quickly and compliantly.

02. Can foreigners fully own a Free Zone company in the UAE?

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of Free Zone company formation in the UAE is 100% foreign ownership. This means you do not need a local partner or sponsor, allowing you to retain complete control over your business operations and profits. Free Zones also offer a range of licenses tailored for commercial, service, and industrial activities.

03. How long does it take to set up a company?

The setup duration depends on the jurisdiction and type of company:

  • Free Zone companies usually take between 2 to 10 working days, depending on the documentation and approvals required.

  • Mainland companies may take 2 to 4 weeks, as they involve more steps like tenancy contracts, external approvals, and notary services.
    We streamline this process for you to ensure minimal delays.

04. What are the benefits of a Free Zone company?

Free Zone companies offer a host of benefits, including:

  • 100% foreign ownership

  • Zero corporate and personal income tax

  • Full repatriation of capital and profits

  • No import or export duties (within the Free Zone)

  • Simplified visa processing for investors and employees

  • Quick licensing process with low setup costs
    These advantages make Free Zones a popular choice for international businesses looking to establish a regional presence.

05.Can a Free Zone company trade within the UAE mainland?

Free Zone companies are not allowed to directly trade in the UAE mainland market unless they appoint a local distributor or service agent, or open a branch office in the mainland. However, they can conduct business internationally or within their Free Zone freely. If local trade is essential, we may recommend a Mainland company setup instead.

06. Can I get visas and open bank accounts with my license?

Yes. Once your company is registered, you become eligible to apply for UAE residence visas for yourself, your partners, employees, and dependents. We also assist in opening corporate bank accounts by helping you prepare all the required documentation and choosing the best bank based on your business type and nationality.
