        What is the Difference between ADGM and DIFC?

        If you're planning to set up a financial business in the UAE, chances are you've come across two names repeatedly. These two names are Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). At first glance, they seem almost identical. Both are internationally recognised financial free zones. Both operate under a common law framework. Both have a strong reputation among global investors. However, while […]

        How to Open a Corporate Bank Account in Dubai, UAE

        If you've just registered a mainland or free zone company in Dubai, opening a corporate bank account is your next non-negotiable step. UAE law doesn't allow you to run business transactions through a personal account, and without a dedicated corporate account, you can't pay VAT, process payroll through the Wage Protection System (WPS), or build the credibility […]

        How to Start a Wholesale Trading Business in Dubai

        The UAE's non-oil foreign trade reached a record AED 3.8 trillion (over US$1.03 trillion) in 2025. This growth represents a 27% increase year-on-year and surpassed the UAE's 2031 economic target six years ahead of schedule. One of the key contributors to this remarkable growth is the wholesale trading sector of the country. Every day, thousands of […]

    Frequently Asked Questions

      Company FormationUAE VisaTax & BankingCompliance
        01.

        Can an Indian citizen start a business in Dubai without visiting the UAE?

                Yes. The entire company registration process can be completed remotely. You only need a short UAE visit (5–7 days) for visa medical and Emirates ID biometrics. Shuraa India manages all documentation from India.

        02.

        What is the minimum cost to set up a company in Dubai from India?

                A basic Free Zone license starts from AED 6,000 (approx. ₹1.36 lakh). Total cost including visa and bank account typically ranges AED 15,000 to AED 25,000 depending on jurisdiction, office type, and visa quota.

        03.

        What is the difference between Mainland and Free Zone company formation in the UAE?

              Mainland companies can trade across the UAE, including with government bodies. Free Zone companies enjoy 0% corporate tax and 100% profit repatriation, but primarily trade internationally or within the free zone ecosystem.

        04.

        How long does company registration in Dubai take?

              Free Zone licenses are typically issued within 48–72 hours. Mainland company registration takes 3–5 working days, depending on the business activity and any required government department approvals.

        05.

        Can a foreigner own 100% of a business in Dubai?

              Yes. UAE's 2021 Commercial Companies Law now permits 100% foreign ownership in most commercial and professional activities on the Mainland, and always in Free Zones, eliminating the previous 51% local sponsor requirement.

        06.

        What documents does an Indian entrepreneur need to register a company in the UAE?

              You need a valid passport copy, a passport-size photograph, and proof of residential address. No PAN card, Aadhaar notarisation, or complex attestation is required at the initial registration stage.

        07.

        Which free zone is best for Indian entrepreneurs in 2026?

              IFZA is most popular for Indian founders due to its low cost (from AED 12,500), flexible business activities, and proximity to Dubai. DMCC suits commodity trading; RAKEZ is ideal for manufacturing or industrial activities.

        08.

        Can I add multiple business activities to my UAE company?

              Yes. UAE companies can include multiple related business activities under a single license. Additional activities can also be added post-registration. The cost depends on the jurisdiction and how many activities are added.

        09.

        Is LLC (Limited Liability Company) setup possible for Indians in Dubai?

                Yes. Indian nationals can set up a mainland LLC with 100% ownership in eligible activities since the 2021 reforms. An LLC allows direct trading in the UAE market, government tenders, and unlimited visa quotas.

        10.

        Can entrepreneurs from Singapore or Malaysia partner with Shuraa India to set up in Dubai?

              Absolutely. Shuraa India serves clients across Southeast Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. We provide localised advisory, pricing in local currencies, and dedicated consultants familiar with SEA business needs.
