The choice depends on your target market. A Mainland license allows you to trade directly across the UAE and pitch for government contracts. A Free Zone is often faster to set up and offers 100% import/export tax exemptions, making it ideal for international trade or specific niches like Tech and Media.
Yes. Following recent regulatory shifts, 100% foreign ownership is now available for the vast majority of commercial and industrial activities on the Mainland, while Free Zones have always offered full ownership.
StepWise holds Platinum status with major UAE Free Zones. For you, this means priority document processing, direct access to government portals, and exclusive registration rates that aren’t available to the general public.
While Mainland companies typically require a physical lease (Ejari), many Free Zones offer “Flexi-desk” or “Smart Office” solutions. These allow you to maintain a legal address and residency without the overhead of a traditional office.
Beyond the initial setup, we audit your administrative workflows. We identify redundancies in your PRO cycles and labor management to reduce your operational costs and increase “Speed to Market.”
Absolutely. With the 9% Corporate Tax now in effect, we ensure your company is registered correctly with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) from day one to avoid compliance penalties.
If you are already established in one Emirate or country, we provide a strategic roadmap for entering new UAE jurisdictions or scaling your operations into the wider GCC region.
Through our financial performance consulting, we help you set up robust reporting structures that monitor monthly revenue and capital health, ensuring your corporate structure supports your financial goals.
The Golden Visa offers 10 years of security without the need for a national sponsor. It allows you to stay outside the UAE for more than 6 months without losing residency and permits you to sponsor family members for the same 10-year period.
Through our “Efficient Execution” model, we aim for 3-day approvals on initial licenses. The full residency process, including medical and Emirates ID, typically takes 7–10 working days.
