OMC delivers end-to-end business formation across all UAE jurisdictions, advising on the right structure based on your goals, ownership and compliance needs.
From planning to final approvals we act as your incorporation partner, and stay on after the licence is issued.
We coordinate directly with the authorities and handle the back-and-forth on approvals.
Compare benefits, costs, and requirements before you register.
Operate freely across the UAE with full access to local markets and no trade restrictions.
Tax-efficient zones designed for international businesses with simplified setup.
Ideal for secure asset protection and international holding structures.
Our structured incorporation process is built for transparency at every stage.
We map your activity, ownership and visa needs before recommending anything.
A specialist takes your business model, intended market and shareholder structure, and identifies the constraints that decide the rest, activity classification, residency, and where you can legally trade.
Key benefits:
Mainland, free zone or offshore, and the legal structure that fits.
We compare the jurisdictions against your actual plan (where you trade, how many visas you need, how ownership is held), and set out the trade-offs in cost, timeline and obligations.
Key benefits:
Your name is cleared and your activities are chosen against the approved list.
Names are checked against the authority's naming rules before submission, and activities are selected from the approved schedule so the licence covers what you will actually do.
Key benefits:
Every form, passport copy and resolution prepared to authority specification.
We assemble and verify the full pack (shareholder and manager documents, memorandum, attestations where required), and check each item against the specification before anything is filed.
Key benefits:
We file with the authority and chase every approval on your behalf.
Submission and follow-up run through OMC. We answer the authority's queries, resolve rejections and keep the file moving, so you are not learning a government portal mid-launch.
Key benefits:
Flexi-desk, shared or physical premises, matched to your licence and visas.
Your visa quota and licence conditions decide what premises you need. We set out the options that satisfy both and coordinate the lease or facility agreement with the authority.
Key benefits:
Your licence and corporate documents are issued and handed over.
Once the authority approves, the licence, memorandum and company documents are issued and delivered to you, along with what each one is needed for afterwards.
Key benefits:
Visas, banking, tax and renewals continue with the same team.
Formation is the start. Immigration, corporate banking, VAT and bookkeeping, and every renewal deadline stay with the team that incorporated you, tracked rather than remembered.
Key benefits:
Timelines vary with jurisdiction, business activity and the authority's own processing schedule. Yours is confirmed in writing when the order starts.
Formation cost comes down to two things, and we itemise both before you commit. Nothing is added once the order is priced.

OMC keeps supporting your company after the licence is issued, so you stay compliant and organised from the first day of trading.

Corporate bank account assistance and documentation preparation.
VAT registration, bookkeeping and ongoing tax compliance support.
Call handling and IVR so your company answers professionally from day one.
Your long-term incorporation partner, not a one-off filing service.

Established procedural relationships with DED, free zone authorities, MOHRE and GDRFA.
All documents prepared, verified and submitted to exact authority specifications.
Formation structured to reduce risk and support long-term regulatory compliance.
Banking, tax, accounting and visas all connected through a single OMC relationship.
A single point of contact from initial consultation through to ongoing operations.

It depends on the jurisdiction and your business activity. Freezone licence times differ by zone: 1 to 2 working days with UAQ FTZ, 5 to 7 days with Meydan and 5 to 10 working days with IFZA, after documents are submitted. Mainland incorporations typically take 5 to 10 working days once documents are submitted, and Offshore structures 3 to 7. Timelines are indicative, authority processing schedules vary, and we confirm a realistic timeline with you at the initiation stage.
It depends on where you intend to trade, whether you need residency visas, and how you plan to hold ownership. Mainland gives you direct access to the UAE market with no trade restrictions; Freezone is tax-efficient and faster to set up for international businesses; Offshore suits asset holding and privacy rather than trading. We assess your business model before recommending a pathway, rather than defaulting everyone to the same structure.
Formation costs come down to two things: the government fee and our professional service fee, and we give you a clear breakdown of both before you engage, so there are no surprises mid-process. Your exact figure depends on your jurisdiction, activity and visa count, which is exactly what a quick call sorts out. Freezone setups start from AED 10,500 + VAT, and mainland from AED 25,000, a consultant confirms your precise number in one free call. Get your exact price and the fastest route, one free call, no obligation.
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. OMC acts as a facilitator and advisor. Approval decisions rest solely with the relevant authority. What we control is the quality of your file: documents prepared, verified, and submitted to exact authority specifications, which is what makes approval straightforward in practice.
Formation is the starting point, not the finish line. We continue with visa processing, corporate bank account support, VAT and corporate tax registration, and ongoing bookkeeping, all through the same OMC relationship, so you aren't handed off to a different provider for each step.
Yes. Licence expiry, visa renewals, Emirates ID, and filing deadlines are all tracked and flagged well before they fall due, so you don't discover a lapse after the fact.
