Hi everyone,
I am currently exploring options for business formation in Dubai and would really value input from people who have already gone through the process. I want to understand how company registration works, what types of licenses are available, and what the actual setup costs look like in practice.
Dubai is known for being very business-friendly, especially for international entrepreneurs, but I’m a bit confused about choosing between mainland, free zone, and offshore structures. If anyone has practical experience with business formation in Dubai, please share your journey, challenges faced, and any useful advice for beginners.
