Hi, thanks for the valuable info. Just had afew initial questions - we provide event services, so we are physically present at various events. I assume to set up in Dubai, it would have to be mainland? Also we dont need an office or physical location, but i assume we need a location for the paperwork?

I don't understand how your ables to place 2025 title in the video when the video was uploaded mid 2024. 2025 rules may be updated or not. I think a bit misleading for the viewer if they are looking for the most current 2025 info.

Do you have to rent an office space to
Start a business or is there a way around renting office space

So theoretically there’s no issue if setting up the entity, whilst initially keeping residence in Europe/us… then Building up the profits in the uae entity, and then when ready physically moving over to the uae, declaring as uae tax resident and being able to transfer the profits to your personal bank? Do I have that correct?

Hello Kate, one question, is about an LLC in USA and a company in UAE, the question is: is it advisable to USE THE SAME COMPANY NAME for the UAE company and the LLC in the United States? for example, the name of the UAE company is XXXYYYZZZ and the name of the LLC is the same, XXXYYYZZZ. Thanks.

If the person is already present in Dubai on Golden Visa, does he still need an Establishment Card when setting up an LLC ?
Without a visa on LLC, can he get a bank account opened ?
