Overview
What business setup involves
Forming a company in Dubai means choosing between the mainland (Department of Economy and Tourism) and one of many free zones, each with its own activities, costs, office requirements and visa quotas. The authority issues the licence; the quality of the application determines how quickly and cleanly it happens.
ASMA Property Services L.L.C-FZ is itself licensed as a Corporate Services Provider. We help you select a jurisdiction, compile the documentation, submit the application and complete the establishment card, visa and bank-account steps that follow.
Assistance & documents clearing. ASMA prepares, checks and submits documentation on your behalf. Approval always rests with the authority or institution concerned.

Fees
Quoted on enquiry

Frequently asked
Questions about business setup
Can my new company own Dubai property?
Only certain entity types and jurisdictions are permitted by the DLD to hold title. We confirm this first if property ownership is the purpose.
Do I need an office?
Requirements vary by authority and licence type — some free zones offer flexi-desk options. We set this out when comparing jurisdictions.
