UAE, Free Zone, and Dubai Company Formation

Whether you are looking to start a business in Dubai, or want to expand your existing one into the region, there is a range of company types and business areas to choose. The type of business you want to set up, or are already operating, will dictate which type of company and in which Free Zone it would be best suited. Dubai company forms include a RAK IC (Offshore Entity) and local LLC (LTD Liability Company), and there are 19 Free Zones in Dubai alone to choose from.

For example, DAFZA is intended for businesses that import and export goods, and the business activities of TECOM include “design, development, use and maintenance of everything relevant to Information Technology, E-commerce and Media”.

Each Free Zone is governed by an independent Free Zone Authority (FZA) which is responsible for issuing the necessary operating licences to businesses in the relevant Free Zone.

The most popular and convenient Free Zone is the Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone. Considering the UAE as a whole, there are over forty Free Zones, all offering different opportunities and advantages to both domestic and foreign investors.

Registration for Money Laundering Regulation (MLR)

In 2007 the Anti Money Laundering Regulations were brought into effect by the Government, making it a Legal requirement that ALL Company Formation Agents have an “MLR”. This will come into effect from 15th December.

Universal Comapny Incorporations LTD has successfully applied for and received its MLR Registration Number 12710242 . This means that we have passed the Fit and Proper test and HM Customs and Excise have confirmed that we have successfully registered for MLR.

Be aware that company Formation Agents that operate without an MLR number are breaking the Law. Our recommendation is that you ask for full details of the MLR number before processing the formation of a company through any company formation agent.
