Frequently asked questions
In Dubai, you can choose between three types of companies: Freezone, Mainland, and Offshore companies. Each of these forms offers its own advantages:
• Freezone companies: Ideal for international business. Tax-free up to a profit of 375,000 AED per year, fast formation in just 4 days, 100% ownership and no accounting obligation.
• Mainland companies: Perfect for companies that want to operate directly in Dubai. Here you enjoy greater access to the local market and easier access to banking services.
• Offshore companies: For international entrepreneurs, the offshore option offers tax advantages and full anonymity.

No, as a foreigner you can establish a company in Dubai that is 100% owned by you. However, pay attention to the tax regulations, especially the "place of business management" to avoid unnecessary tax liability in Germany.
After the company formation, it is possible to open a bank account in the UAE - often in Dirham or USD, but EUR accounts are also available. The process can be complex and time-consuming, especially if you are not on site. Our close contacts to major banks make it easier for you to open an account. And don't worry: there are no negative interest rates in Dubai - you can even benefit from positive interest rates.
This depends on the type of your company. For mainland companies, a local sponsor is required who owns 51% of the shares, however, there are also options that allow an agreement to be made where the actual control remains with the foreign investor. In Freezones, on the other hand, a company can be 100% foreign-owned.
