Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I get my Dubai company set up from the UK?
Most clients are fully operational within 7-10 business days. That includes the trade license, residency visa, Emirates ID, and corporate bank account.
The exact timeline depends on your chosen free zone and document turnaround - we give you a realistic breakdown from day one.
Do I need to travel to Dubai to set up my company?
No. The majority of the process is handled remotely - a passport copy and a few details are all we need to get started.
You will need to visit Dubai briefly (typically 2-3 days) for your visa medical, biometrics, and bank account opening. For UK clients, Dubai is a 7-hour direct flight - many combine it into a single efficient trip.
Why are UK entrepreneurs choosing Dubai for their business setup?
The UK tax burden has increased significantly in recent years. Personal income tax reaches 45% at the additional rate, and combined with National Insurance (8% employee, 13.8% employer), the total employment tax cost is substantial. Corporation tax sits at 25% for profits over £250,000, capital gains tax is up to 24%, and dividend tax reaches 39.35% for additional rate taxpayers.
A qualifying Dubai Free Zone company offers 0% personal income tax, 0% corporate tax on eligible income, and 0% capital gains tax - all fully legal with the right structure and a genuine exit from UK tax residency.
Is the 0% tax structure legal for UK residents?
Yes - but it requires proper structuring and a genuine exit from the UK tax system. The UK taxes residents on worldwide income, so becoming non-UK tax resident is essential. This requires breaking UK tax residency under the Statutory Residence Test, which we strongly recommend doing alongside a UK tax adviser.
During your call, we'll walk through exactly what's required for your specific situation.
Free zone or mainland - which is right for my UK business?
Free zones are the most popular choice for UK entrepreneurs: 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate tax on qualifying income, and faster setup - ideal for online businesses, consultants, coaches, e-commerce, and international trade.
Mainland is better suited if you plan to trade actively within the UAE domestic market. We'll recommend the right structure on your strategy call.
What makes GenZone different from other Dubai setup companies?
Most setup companies hand you a package and disappear. GenZone is built differently - our founders relocated themselves, so every process we run has been lived, not just learned.
We handle the full picture: licensing, structuring, residency, and banking - with real consultants, direct free zone relationships, and transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no upsells, no guesswork.
Can I open a UAE corporate bank account from the UK?
Yes, but physical presence in Dubai is required to open your corporate bank account - this is a UAE banking requirement, not a GenZone limitation.
We have strong direct relationships with Emirates NBD, Mashreq, and Wio, and guide you through the entire process to significantly increase your approval rate.
How much does it cost to set up a company with GenZone?
Costs depend on your business activity, license type, and number of visas. Our all-inclusive free zone packages with one visa typically start from around $8,500 USD.
We provide a full cost breakdown - including ongoing annual fees - on your free strategy call, so there are no surprises.
Can I sponsor my family for UAE residency?
Yes. Once you hold a UAE residency visa, you can sponsor your spouse and dependent children for their own UAE residency visas. GenZone manages the full family visa process as part of our premium package.
Do you offer support after my company is set up?
Yes. We stay by your side beyond setup. GenZone provides ongoing compliance support, license renewals, visa renewals, additional banking assistance, and advisory services.
We're not a one-transaction agency - many clients have been with us for years.
