Business Setup Services in Dubai — Mapped for Scale
We help founders structure Free Zone, Mainland, and Offshore companies in the UAE —
not through pre-set packages, but with mapped legal frameworks designed for hiring, capital, and compliance.
We don’t just help you register. We help you choose right. Company formation in Dubai is layered. Free Zone or Mainland? Sponsor or full ownership? Investor visa or partner route? The wrong answers cost money, time, and compliance headaches later. Elite Dimensions helps you build the right structure from day one — legally, operationally, and reputationally.
We provide expert assistance with company formation, ensuring all legalities are met for free zone, mainland, and offshore setups in Dubai. We have successfully supported companies in a variety of industries including IT, healthcare, Trading, Technology, Retail, and Financial services. Our adaptable solutions ensure that we meet the specific needs of each sector.
Dubai’s business ecosystem is full of opportunities—but navigating its regulations requires local expertise. That’s where we come in. We help you choose the right type of company structure based on your goals, industry, and ownership requirements.
We help you establish:
Free Zone Companies – 100% foreign ownership, no customs duties, fast-track approvals. Ideal for startups, e-commerce, and consultants. Ideal for Startups, remote teams, consulting businesses, holding companies, and cross-border operations needing speed and simplicity.
How we work:
- Match your business activity with Free Zone rules
- Guide you through ownership models and legal limitations
- Handle name approvals, license, and MoA
- Coordinate visa issuance (investor, partner, or dependent)
- Introduce banking partners suited for Free Zone entities. Why it matters? Not all Free Zones allow the same activities or bank access. We prevent expensive mismatches. For example: Helped a three-founder wellness startup relocate to Dubai under a Free Zone structure with 100% ownership, visas, and full banking in under 12 working days.
Mainland Companies – Freedom to trade across UAE, hire unlimited staff, and collaborate with government entities. Ideal for Retail brands, brick-and-mortar businesses, service firms with in-country clients, or those hiring locally.
How we work:
- Ensure compliance with DED and federal regulations. Why it matters: Mainland gives you full market access — but with higher regulatory friction. We make it manageable. For example: Enabled a French consumer brand to open a Dubai storefront with a local partner, dual-license (retail + ecommerce), and 5 employee visas — all set within 6 weeks.
- Determine the best-fit legal form (LLC, branch, sole establishment)
- Set up sponsor or nominee structure — with MoA protection
- Coordinate tenancy, labor files, and trade license
- Handle investor or partner visas + dependent documentation
Offshore Entities – Confidential, tax-efficient, and cost-effective structures for international operations. Ideal for Holding companies, IP protection, cross-border investment vehicles, or discreet structuring for fund flows.
How we work:
- Identify best-fit jurisdiction (JAFZA, RAK ICC, BVI if needed)
- Draft nominee agreements and board resolutions
- Handle documentation, legal setup, and optional bank linkages
- Coordinate compliance for multi-jurisdictional founders.
Why it matters? Offshore isn’t evasion — it’s architecture. Used responsibly, it protects IP and capital. For example Structured a UAE-based Offshore entity for a family office with holdings in Europe, MENA, and Singapore — complete with nominee director layer and legal isolation.
Our formation services include:
✔ Strategic consultation to select the optimal business zone
✔ Preparation of legal documents and MOA drafting

- Professional Licenses – For consultants, freelancers, and service providers
- Industrial Licenses – For manufacturers and large-scale production companies
What we handle for you:
✔ Determining the right license type for your activity

✔ Submitting all applications and follow-ups until issuance
✔ Supporting renewals, modifications, and approvals for additional activities
Your license will be in hand—on time, and hassle-free.
