Company Formation in the UAE
Establishing a business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a gateway to one of the world’s most dynamic and tax-efficient economies. However, the path to a fully operational trade license involves navigating complex legal structures, jurisdictional regulations, and government approvals.
At Tasheelat, we transform the daunting task of company formation into a streamlined, fast-tracked process. We act as your expert architects, ensuring your business is structured correctly from day one to maximize operational freedom, protect your assets, and ensure long-term scalability.

Why Choose Tasheelat?
Speed to Market
We leverage digital platforms to reduce processing times, often securing licenses in as little as 24–48 hours for certain activities.
Compliance Expertise
We ensure your setup aligns with the latest UAE Corporate Tax (9% on profits over 375,000 AED) and AML/KYC regulations.
Transparency
No hidden fees or bureaucratic surprises—just clear, professional facilitation.
Asked Questions
In most sectors (Commercial and Industrial), you can now enjoy 100% ownership without a local partner. For certain professional activities, a Local Service Agent may still be required, and we can facilitate this partnership safely.
Free Zone setups can take as little as 3–5 working days. Mainland setups usually range from 7–10 working days depending on the activity and external approvals.
