I had a great experience with Oxford Management Consultancy. They helped me with the complete company setup process for a foreign investor, and everything was handled professionally. From company registration to the investor visa and Emirates ID, the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. The best part was that everything was completed in just about two weeks. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to start a business in the UAE.

Banking
The banking piece, where IFZA earns its keep
Opening a UAE corporate account is the part that trips most people up, and IFZA's working relationships with local banks take real friction out of it. We go further: we have named account-opening officers at 10+ UAE banks and have opened 1,000+ accounts.
We know exactly what each bank's compliance team will ask, because we've done it a thousand times. Approval always rests with the bank, but a clean, well-briefed file is what makes it straightforward. See our bank account opening service.

Fixed price
On tax
Free zone companies still register for UAE corporate tax, and a 0% rate on qualifying income has conditions under the Corporate Tax Law (real substance in the zone, not just an address). We check your position and handle your corporate tax registration and filing.
