The Process of Company Registration in Dubai
At Elite Auditing, we simplify the company registration process into clear, manageable steps. Our team of experts ensures that all legal, administrative, and financial aspects are handled efficiently, allowing you to focus on your business goals.
Choose Your Business Activity:
The first step is to decide the nature of your business. Dubai offers a wide range of business activities, from commercial and industrial to professional services.
It’s essential to select the right activity as it determines the type of license and the jurisdiction (Mainland, Freezone, or Offshore) best suited for your business.
Select the Jurisdiction:
Based on your business activity, choose whether to establish your company in Mainland Dubai, a Freezone, or Offshore.
Each jurisdiction offers different advantages, and our team at Elite Auditing will help you select the best option for your business needs.
Choose a Company Name:
The next step is to choose a name for your company that complies with UAE naming conventions. It should reflect your business activity and must not include any offensive or religious terms.
Elite Auditing assists you in checking the availability of your chosen name and ensuring it meets all legal requirements.
Prepare the Required Documents:
Depending on the chosen jurisdiction and business activity, you’ll need to submit various documents, including copies of passports, visa status, and any other required certifications.
Our team ensures that all documents are prepared and submitted correctly to avoid any delays.
Obtain Initial Approvals:
Before officially registering your company, initial approvals are required from various government authorities.
Elite Auditing manages the approval process, ensuring that all necessary permissions are secured quickly.
Finalize the Registration:
Once approvals are obtained, the company registration can be finalized, including the issuance of the trade license.
We handle all final submissions, ensuring your business is legally registered and ready to operate.
Bank Account Opening:
After registration, you’ll need to open a corporate bank account. Dubai offers a range of local and international banking options.
Elite Auditing provides assistance in choosing the right bank and completing the necessary formalities.
Visa Processing:
Depending on your business structure, you’ll need to apply for visas for yourself, your employees, and dependents.
We guide you through the visa application process, from obtaining entry permits to completing medical tests and Emirates ID registration.
Office Space Selection:
Depending on your company type, you may need to secure office space. Freezones often offer Flexi-desk and shared office options, while Mainland companies may require a physical office.
Elite Auditing assists in finding suitable office spaces that meet the legal requirements and are strategically located.
Compliance and Post-Formation Services:
After your company is established, ongoing compliance with UAE regulations is crucial.
Our services extend to PRO services, annual renewals, accounting, and auditing, ensuring that your business remains compliant and operates smoothly.
