Frequently asked questions
Dubai offers a highly connected business environment, modern infrastructure, access to international markets and a wide range of company structures. Depending on your business activity and goals, you can choose between free zone and mainland options. Baba Weston helps you understand the available structures and choose a setup that fits your business objectives.
The right choice depends on where you plan to operate, your business activity, customers, visa requirements and long-term plans. A free zone company can be suitable for many international, online and specialised businesses, while a mainland company can provide broader access to the UAE local market. BW can help compare both options before you make a decision.
In many cases, eligible UAE residents can sponsor qualifying family members, subject to the applicable residency and sponsorship requirements. Baba Weston can guide you through the relevant company, residency and family visa process and explain which requirements apply to your situation.
Property-based residency options in the UAE depend on the current eligibility rules, property status and the type of residency being considered. Requirements can change, so there is no single rule that applies to every applicant. BW can review your property situation and explain the residency options that may be available to you.
Company formation timelines vary depending on the business activity, jurisdiction, required approvals, documentation and visa requirements. Straightforward setups can often be completed relatively quickly, while regulated activities may require additional approvals. Baba Weston will guide you through the required steps and provide an estimated timeline for your specific setup.
