Company Registration in Dubai from Egypt

Are you an entrepreneur, freelancer, or business owner in Egypt looking to expand your operations into Dubai? We understand the unique challenges and opportunities this move represents. Setup Dubai Business is your dedicated partner, based in the UAE with deep expertise in helping Egyptian clients. We manage the entire process—from document legalization in Egypt to your final trade license, bank account, and visa—so you can focus on what you do best: growing your business.

Why Dubai is the Top Choice for Egyptian Entrepreneurs

Here’s why so many business owners in Egypt see Dubai as their next strategic move:

• A World-Class Business Hub: Access a stable, innovative economy with unmatched global connectivity.
• Shared Language & Culture: Conduct business easily in Arabic, benefiting from strong, long-standing regional ties.
• 100% Foreign Ownership: Maintain full control of your business, especially in Dubai’s dynamic and numerous free zones.
• Global Banking & Profit Repatriation: Securely open UAE corporate bank accounts in multiple currencies and move your capital and profits freely.
• A Strategic Base: Dubai is perfectly positioned as a regional hub for export, consulting, or digital service companies operating from Egypt.

We Understand the Challenges for Egyptian Applicants

We understand the challenges for Egyptian applicants and how to solve them. We specialize in helping Egyptian business owners navigate the unique considerations of setting up in the UAE:

• Currency & Capital Flow: We know that currency fluctuations and capital controls in Egypt are a concern. A UAE entity with a stable, global bank account provides crucial flexibility and security for your revenue.
• Tax & Business Structure: Operating from Egypt while owning a Dubai company can create tax complexities. We help you structure your new entity with real substance and proper governance to ensure full compliance.
• The Right Jurisdiction: Mainland or Free Zone? If you need to trade within the UAE market, a Mainland license is key. If your focus is international trade or digital services, a Free Zone is often the smarter, more cost-effective choice. We’ll help you decide.

Finding Your Perfect Fit: Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore?

We’ll help you select the structure that perfectly matches your business goals:

• Free Zone Company: The most popular choice. Ideal for international trade, digital services, consulting, or e-commerce. You get 100% ownership, 0% personal and corporate tax, and a streamlined setup.
• Mainland (Onshore) Company: This is the right choice if you plan to trade directly within the UAE market, take on government contracts, or open a physical shop or office in Dubai.
• Offshore Company: A non-resident company used purely for international asset holding, property ownership, or managing investments from Dubai without operating in the UAE itself.

Your Journey from Egypt to Dubai

1. Free Consultation

We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your business in Egypt and your goals for Dubai. We’ll recommend the ideal license and jurisdiction, providing a transparent, all-inclusive quote.

2. Trade Name & Activity Registration

We check and reserve your desired company name, finalize your list of business activities, and secure your initial approvals from the relevant Dubai authority (Free Zone or Department of Economy & Tourism).

3. Document Preparation & Attestation

This is often the biggest hurdle, but we make it simple. We provide a clear checklist of documents (passport, proof of address, etc.) and guide you through the process of getting them attested from the necessary authorities in Egypt and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

4. Company Registration in Dubai

Our team handles all the submissions, drafts your legal documents (like the MOA), arranges for any required office space (virtual or physical), and works directly with the authorities to issue your final trade license.

5. Bank Account Setup

Opening a UAE bank account can be challenging. We don’t just give you a list of banks; we prepare your complete KYC (Know Your Customer) file, leverage our strong relationships with top UAE banks, and schedule your meetings to ensure a smooth, successful opening.

6. Visa & Residency Processing

Once your company is licensed, you are eligible for a UAE investor visa. Our dedicated PRO team handles everything: entry permits, medical fitness tests, Emirates ID biometrics, and the final visa stamping in your passport.

What You’ll Need to Get Started (From Egypt)

• Clear passport copy for all shareholders/directors (valid for at least 6 months)
• Proof of residential address in Egypt (e.g., recent utility bill or bank statement)
• If an Egyptian company is a shareholder: Its corporate documents (Certificate of Incorporation, MOA/AOA, etc.)
• A brief description of your planned business activities

Note: Don’t worry about the red tape. We will guide you on the exact requirements for notarization, UAE embassy attestation in Egypt, and legal translation needed for your specific case.

Timeline & Costs: What to Expect

• Free Zone Setup: Typically 3–10 business days once all documents are submitted.
• Mainland Setup: Usually 2–4 weeks, as it may require more approvals.
• Bank Account Opening: Allow 2–6 weeks, as this process depends on the bank’s compliance checks.

Costs vary based on your chosen free zone, business activity, and visa needs. We believe in 100% transparency. After our consultation, you will receive a detailed, fixed-price quotation with no hidden fees.
