Why the UAE

Six reasons the world is moving here.

SafetyAbu Dhabi has been ranked the world's safest city by Numbeo for ten years running, and UAE cities fill most of the global top ten. Families, staff and assets are protected by some of the most advanced policing in the world.
TaxNo personal income tax. Rent and sale profits that an individual earns from UAE property are outside corporate tax. No annual property tax. The UAE has signed more than 140 agreements to avoid double taxation.
ResidencyA property worth AED 2 million ($545K) or more can qualify you and your family for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa, including off-plan and mortgaged homes in Dubai. There are also routes for exceptional talent in sport, culture and business.
BusinessForeigners can own 100% of most onshore companies. Corporate tax is 9% on profits above AED 375,000, with 0% available on qualifying free-zone income. Setting up takes days, not months.
LifestyleBeaches, marinas, golf, world-class schools and hospitals, Michelin dining and year-round sunshine, in a city where more than 200 nationalities live side by side.
ConnectivityDubai and Abu Dhabi put most of the world's population within an eight-hour flight, with direct routes to every major financial centre.

Questions

What people ask us.

Can I run my business from Dubai and still invest at home?

Yes. Many owners keep operating companies abroad and hold UAE property personally. Where you are tax resident decides where you pay; check with your tax adviser.

How fast can I set up a company?

A free-zone licence can be issued within days. We introduce you to licensed setup advisers.

Can the company buy the property?

Yes, but property held through a company is treated differently for corporate tax. Most owners buy their home in their own name.
