About Founder Solutions

Your partner for business setup in the UAE

We guide founders through every step of launching a UAE company: choosing the right jurisdiction and activities, preparing documents, securing your licence and visas, and getting you bank and tax ready.

Why the UAE

Why entrepreneurs choose the UAE

The UAE combines a business-friendly legal framework, a competitive tax regime and world-class infrastructure, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to launch and scale a company.

100% Foreign Ownership

Own your free zone company outright, with no local sponsor. Most mainland activities can also be 100% foreign owned.

Remote Setup Options

Many free zones let you complete incorporation remotely, so you can start the process before you arrive in the UAE.

Gateway to Global Markets

A strategic location between Europe, Asia and Africa, with major airports, sea ports and logistics hubs.

Competitive Tax Regime

0% corporate tax on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it, with no personal income tax.

Residence Visas

Your company can sponsor residence visas for you, your partners, employees and family members.

Banking and Stability

A stable economy, strong banking sector and modern regulations that protect business owners.

Authorized Channel Partner

Direct access to leading UAE free zones

As an authorized channel partner, we work directly with each free zone authority. That means accurate packages, faster answers and one team that knows every step of the application.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your answer? Message us on WhatsApp and a consultant will reply.

Do I need to be in the UAE to set up a free zone company?
Not always. Many free zones, including IFZA, Meydan and SHAMS, allow most of the incorporation process to be completed remotely. You will usually need to be in the UAE for your visa medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.
Free zone or mainland: which is right for me?
A free zone is often the most cost-effective choice for consultancy, e-commerce, trading outside the UAE and service businesses, with 100% foreign ownership. A mainland company is better if you want to trade directly with customers across the UAE or bid for government contracts. We will compare both for your activity.
How much does a free zone company cost?
Costs depend on the free zone, the number of activities, the visa quota and whether you need office space. Government fees also change from time to time, so we provide an up-to-date, itemised quote after a short consultation.
How many visas can I get?
Visa eligibility depends on the free zone package and, where required, the office space you lease. We will match a package to the number of visas you need now and in the future.
Do I need to register for corporate tax?
Yes. UAE corporate tax registration applies to companies, including free zone companies, and late registration can lead to penalties. We can register your company with the Federal Tax Authority once your licence is issued.
Can you help me open a business bank account?
Yes. We help you prepare a complete bank file and introduce you to suitable UAE banks. Final account approval is always at the bank’s discretion.
