Frequently Asked Questions
Who is FAR Consulting Middle East and what do you do?
FAR Consulting Middle East is a UAE business setup and corporate services consultancy, helping entrepreneurs and investors establish and grow their businesses since 1985. We support company formation across Mainland, Free Zone and Offshore jurisdictions, along with corporate tax, VAT, accounting, PRO, visa, HR, trademark and liquidation services, guiding clients from the first consultation through to full operational compliance.
How can I start a business in the UAE?
Choose the right jurisdiction (Mainland, Free Zone or Offshore), select your business activity, decide your legal structure, reserve a trade name, and secure initial approval before your trade licence is issued. FAR Consulting Middle East manages the full setup, registration and post-licensing process for you.
Can foreigners own 100% of a company in the UAE?
Yes. Foreign investors are legally entitled to 100% ownership in the UAE, across nearly all Free Zone activities and the vast majority of Mainland commercial and industrial sectors, subject to a short list of strategic sectors such as oil and gas or defense.
What is the difference between Mainland, Free Zone and Offshore company setup?
Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE and take on government contracts. Free Zone companies benefit from industry-specific regulations and streamlined ownership rules. Offshore companies are built for international trade and asset holding rather than local operations. The right choice depends on your business activity and goals.
How long does it take to set up a company in the UAE?
Most companies are registered within a few business days to a couple of weeks, depending on your chosen structure, jurisdiction, and the speed of the relevant government approvals.
Do you provide support after the company is set up?
Yes. We continue as your long-term partner for PRO services, visa processing, bookkeeping and auditing, VAT compliance, payroll and Corporate Tax reporting, so your business stays compliant well past the licensing stage.
