CEO and Founder, Energy & Petroleum Trading Company
I find this company online and couldn’t be happier that I did. Every work they do is very professional and all cost is justified and clear. Thank you for doing all possible and impossible to keep our companies in regulations with the federal law of UAE and make our life so much easier.
Reda Bouraoui
Co-Founder
Excellent support in helping us set up our bank account. Our case was not an easy one, as the majority shareholder is a foreign company. Nevertheless, they supported us throughout the entire process with excellent communication until everything was resolved. I highly recommend them; Mr. Hashim, with whom I had the pleasure to work.

I would like to say thank you so much for your brilliant job! You helped us and assist in every step. Very professional!
Frequently asked questions
How can I start a business in the UAE?
To start a business in the UAE, you need to follow a structured process. This includes selecting your business activity, choosing the right jurisdiction (mainland, freezone, or offshore), reserving a trade name, applying for a business license, and completing the required documentation. Depending on your setup, a residence visa and a corporate bank account application may also be required. At Exactitude Business Services, we guide you through each step to ensure a smooth and compliant business formation process.
How long does business formation in the UAE take?
The timeline for business formation in the UAE depends on the type of company and jurisdiction you choose.
- Trade name approval: usually within 1–2 working days
- License issued by the authority: typically 3 to 7 working days
- Visa decision by the authority (if required): typically 5 to 10 working days
- Corporate bank account: timelines vary based on bank compliance procedures
What documents are required for company registration in the UAE?
The required documents may vary slightly depending on the jurisdiction, but generally include:
- Passport copies of shareholders
- Passport-size photographs
- Visa copy (if applicable)
- Business activity details
- Proposed trade name options
Can foreigners own 100% of a company in the UAE?
Yes, foreign investors can own 100% of their business in most UAE free zones and in many mainland business activities. The UAE has introduced investor-friendly policies that allow full ownership without the need for a local sponsor in several sectors. However, certain regulated industries may still have specific requirements, and our consultants can guide you based on your business activity.
Do I need a visa to start a business in the UAE?
You can start a business in the UAE without first obtaining a visa, particularly with many free zone packages (including 0-visa options). However, if you plan to live in the UAE and operate the business from here, you will need a residency visa—typically an investor visa sponsored by your company. Exactitude Business Services advises you on the visa and Emirates ID requirements and helps you prepare the documents. You apply with the relevant authority.
What is the difference between Mainland, Freezone, and Offshore companies?
Mainland companies allow you to operate anywhere in the UAE and work directly with the local market. Freezone companies offer benefits like 100% ownership and tax advantages but may have limitations on local trade. Offshore companies are mainly used for international business, asset protection, and holding structures, and cannot operate within the UAE market.
Can you assist with corporate bank account opening in the UAE?
Yes, we provide professional assistance for corporate bank account applications in the UAE. Our consultants guide you through documentation, compliance requirements, and the application process with leading UAE banks. Approval timelines and requirements depend on the selected bank and business activity.
