Support for your business after setup
Running a company in the UAE comes with ongoing tasks, like banking, tax registrations, annual renewals and government paperwork. Our business support services in Dubai help you find consultants who can take care of these, whether your company is new or has been running for years, and whether or not you set it up with us.

Account approval is always at the bank's discretion.

Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee my corporate bank account will be approved?
No. Account approval is always at the bank's discretion and depends on its own checks. A consultant can help you choose a suitable bank and prepare a complete application.
When do I need to register for VAT in the UAE?
VAT registration is generally mandatory once your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in 12 months, and voluntary from AED 187,500. Check the current thresholds with the Federal Tax Authority or your consultant.
Does every company need to register for corporate tax?
Most UAE companies, including free zone companies, must register for corporate tax, even if they expect to pay 0%. Your consultant can confirm what applies to your business.
What happens if I don't renew my trade license on time?
Late renewal can lead to fines, and an expired license can affect your visas, bank account and ability to trade. It's best to start renewal before your license expires.
Can I cancel my trade license if I have active visas?
Usually, all visas linked to the company need to be cancelled first, and any outstanding fees, VAT and corporate tax obligations settled, before the license can be cancelled.
Can you help if my company was set up by someone else?
Yes. You can use these services for any UAE company, even if another consultant set it up.
