Setting up a business in the United Arab Emirates, its essential that you understand the regulatory requirements and ongoing commitments to ensure that your business is structured appropriately and securely to meet your corporate objectives.



When choosing to establish a company in the UAE there are a number of basic questions to answer initially – the primary one being whether to set up onshore (mainland UAE) or in one of the country’s numerous freezones. The business’ activities and the location of its customer base will determine the most suitable route.



When setting up a company onshore, its necessary to engage with a local partner in some way. The Gateway Group provides a professional corporate sponsorship platform to mitigate the risks associated with appointing a local partner.
