Setting up a company in Dubai can take varying amounts of time depending on the type of company, the legal form chosen, the sector of activity and the efficiency of preparing the necessary documents. The process usually takes up to 10 working days.

Annual requirements may include filing financial statements, license renewals and, in some cases, audits. Companies in free economic zones are usually required to file annual reports with the relevant zone authorities. Companies on the mainland may also be subject to audit and must renew their trade licenses annually. Check the requirements in your chosen registration zone as they may vary.
