Business Setup and Support in the UAE (United Arab Emirates)
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the most attractive jurisdictions for international business. A stable economy, tax friendliness, a high level of capital protection, and a modern financial infrastructure make the Emirates a global hub for entrepreneurs worldwide.
Our Law Firm “Prikhodko & Partners” specializes in end-to-end support for individuals and businesses in the UAE — from company registration to accounting, opening bank accounts, conducting financial monitoring and legal audit (due diligence), and formalizing your legal status in the country. We understand the “local cuisine” perfectly and have established working contacts with the administrative bodies of the UAE, which greatly simplifies the process of going through bureaucratic procedures for our clients.
Company registration in the UAE

Free Zone — ideal for international businesses not operating directly within the Emirates. Key advantages:
- 100% foreign ownership;
- simplified tax regime (0% corporate tax for activities conducted outside the UAE);
- fast registration procedure (3–10 days, not including bank account opening).
Mainland — suitable for businesses planning to operate in the domestic UAE market or enter into contracts with government entities.
Our team at “Prikhodko & Partners” helps you:
- choose the optimal jurisdiction (zone);
- prepare and file incorporation documents;
- register the company and obtain a trade license;
- arrange resident visas for owners and staff.
Opening a bank account in the UAE
The UAE banking system is among the most advanced in the world. However, opening an account requires preparation, KYC checks, proof of funds, and may take some time.
We provide full support when opening accounts with Emirates NBD, Mashreq Bank, ADCB, FAB, as well as with international fintech platforms.
Our lawyers assist with:
- preparing the document package (articles, license, business plan, proof of funds);
- pre-checking compliance with bank requirements;
- arranging a meeting with a bank manager or remote identification.
We also advise on opening multi-currency accounts to operate in USD, EUR, GBP, and AED.
Legal support for business
Doing business in the UAE requires strict and timely compliance with local law. We provide:
- support for commercial deals (sale & purchase, distribution, franchising);
- drafting contracts in line with federal legislation;
- assistance in obtaining licenses and permits (trade, import, consulting, financial services);
- representation before government bodies, banks, and free zones.

Virtual office

This service includes:
- a legal address for company registration;
- mail reception and forwarding;
- use of meeting rooms;

Accounting support
Accounting in the UAE follows IFRS. After the introduction of corporate tax (9%) in June 2023, proper bookkeeping became mandatory for most companies.
Our specialists provide:
- preparation of financial statements in line with FTA (Federal Tax Authority) requirements;
- filing annual reports with the Ministry of Economy;
- support during tax audits;
- advice on VAT (5%) and corporate income tax.
We help avoid risks related to inaccurate reporting and ensure full compliance with local regulations tailored to each business type.
Due Diligence in the UAE
Legal audit (due diligence) is the key to safe transactions regardless of jurisdiction.
When buying a business, partnering, or investing in the UAE, our team typically checks:
- the company’s corporate structure;
- tax history and financial statements;
- outstanding debts, litigation, or asset freezes;
- validity of licenses and permits.
This enables clients to avoid financial risks and focus confidently on new projects.
Financial monitoring
The UAE adheres to international AML/CFT standards.
We deliver consulting and develop internal policies meeting the requirements of:
- Central Bank of the UAE;
- Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA);
- Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).
Core services include:
- client risk analysis (KYC/EDD);
- design of AML control procedures;
- preparation of internal reports and policies for licensed companies;
- staff training on financial monitoring.
The UAE combines stability, international standing, and tax efficiency. However, building a business here requires a comprehensive approach, strict regulatory compliance, and operational precision. Prestigious jurisdictions like the UAE offer many benefits but do not forgive mistakes or poor preparation, which can result in heavy fines or other issues for non-residents conducting business.
