Amana'Accounts offers a wide range of business consultancy services, including company formation, professional licensing, corporate equity advisory services (e.g. M&A due diligence, structuring, equity valuation) and strategic guidance for both startups and established businesses across a variety of sectors.

The business setup process involves choosing the right legal structure (LLC, FZE, etc.), jurisdiction (mainland or a free zone) and obtaining a professional business license, business address, bank account, visas and regulatory approvals.

Costs depend on the business structure, number of visas, and office requirements. Typical expenses include license fees (AED 5,000–25,000), visa fees (AED 3,000–6,000 per visa) and office space (physical or flexi-desk).

We can help guide you to finding the most suitable and cost-effective package for you.

The setup process can be completed as quick as 1 week or up to ~ 2 months, depending on the chosen location, approvals and documentation.

Free zone companies often have restrictions on mainland operations. However, it may be possible for a Free Zone company to operate in mainland UAE (e.g. via a Mainland Branch or Agent) and depending on the company's operating activities (e.g. IT, marketing or professional services companies).

Typical pitfalls include choosing the wrong location or license type (often at the exploitation of agents), underestimating costs, not obtaining all the necessary approvals and neglecting professional insurance.

We can help guide you through the journey of starting and running your business.
