Business setup from the UK
If you live in the United Kingdom, you can start a UAE company without moving first. We handle the paperwork with you remotely and arrange the in-person steps when you are ready to travel.
Why Workdane
Calls, documents and signatures can mostly be handled online.
We tell you which UK documents need attesting or translating, and in what order.
We group the steps that need you in the UAE, such as the medical screening and Emirates ID.
How it works
A short call to understand your plan. We can speak outside UK office hours where possible.
We recommend the licence type, activities and approvals that fit your business.
We prepare your documents, submit the application and follow each approval.
Once your licence is issued we help with residence visas and opening a bank account.
Good to know
Yes. Owners do not need to live in the UAE. Some steps, such as residence visas, need a visit.
Some do, especially when a shareholder is a company. We list exactly what is needed for your case.
A UAE company does not stop you running other business. Your own tax and employment position is a matter for your advisers.
