Dubai business structures
Dubai offers three ways to set up a company, and each suits a different kind of business. We help you choose the right one and set it up from Australia with our setup partners in Dubai. The lists below come from the UAE Government portal and each registry's own site, checked October 2026.
Company setup in fullEach free zone is run by its own authority, with its own licence types and its own list of permitted activities, and foreign owners can hold the whole company. It suits consulting, trading, e-commerce and services sold mostly outside the UAE.
