• Mainland companies allow full access to the UAE market but may require a local sponsor.

The costs vary depending on the type of company (free zone, mainland, or offshore) and its location. Fees include company registration, trade license, visa applications, and office rent.

Unlike LLCs, which may require a minimum capital investment, there is no mandatory minimum capital requirement for civil companies in the UAE. However, the business must have sufficient financial resources to cover operational costs, including office rent and employee salaries.
In most Emirates, civil companies can be 100% owned by foreign nationals, particularly for service-oriented businesses.

A sole establishment is a business entity owned and operated by a single individual. It provides 100% ownership to the entrepreneur but also comes with unlimited liability, meaning the owner is personally responsible for all debts and liabilities of the business.
The main advantages include 100% business ownership, low setup costs, and freedom to operate in various sectors including professional services, consulting, and trading.
The primary risk is unlimited liability, where the owner is personally liable for any business debts. Additionally, sole establishments may face challenges in attracting investors and scaling the business.
On average, the setup process takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the business activity and how quickly the necessary approvals and documents are obtained.

The primary documents include a passport copy, visa copy, No Objection Certificate (NOC) if applicable, trade name reservation certificate, initial approval from the DED, and proof of office space.
Sole establishments must register for VAT if their annual turnover exceeds AED 375,000. Businesses below this threshold can opt for voluntary registration.
No, there is no corporate tax or personal income tax on the income generated by a sole establishment in Dubai, making it a highly tax-efficient structure for entrepreneurs.

To open a café, you will need a trade license that allows food and beverage activities, as well as a food license from the Dubai Municipality.

Yes, foreign investors can fully own a café in a free zone. For mainland businesses, ownership is subject to local sponsorship requirements unless certain conditions, like the 100% foreign ownership law, apply.
The licensing process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the completeness of your application and the responsiveness of the involved government departments.
You will need the following documents:
• Copies of owner(s)’ passport(s) and visa(s)
• Approved trade name certificate
• Initial approval authorities
• Tenancy contract and Ejari certificate
• Memorandum of Association (MOA), if applicable
• Food license approval

A trading license in Dubai is a legal permit issued by the Dubai government that allows businesses to trade goods and services within and outside the UAE.
