Questions
Should I set up on the mainland or in a free zone?
It depends on your activity, where you'll trade, and your ownership preferences. We'll explain the trade-offs for your specific case before you commit.
What do I need to start a company?
Typically your passport, a chosen business activity and trade name, and details of the shareholders. We'll confirm the exact list for your structure.
Can you renew an existing trade licence?
Yes. We handle renewals as well as new formations, including any approvals a renewal may require.
Can you change activities or shareholders later?
Yes. Company amendments — activities, shareholders, managers and other details — are prepared and submitted as part of our services.
