Business Setup in UAE – Company Formation and Licensing Services

Starting a business in the UAE is an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs, investors, and global companies. At 28GROUP, we provide complete business setup solutions that simplify every step of the process — from choosing the right jurisdiction to securing the necessary licenses and legal documents. Whether you’re setting up in a mainland, free zone, or offshore location, our team ensures a smooth and compliant start to your business journey.

Mainland and Free Zone Company Formation

Choosing the right setup is crucial for business success. We offer expert guidance on selecting between mainland, free zone, and offshore company structures based on your business activity, ownership preferences, and budget. Our services include:

  • Dubai mainland company registration with full ownership (where applicable)

  • Free zone company setup in DMCC, IFZA, SHAMS, DAFZA, and more

  • Offshore incorporation for international trade and asset protection

Trade Name Reservation and Licensing

Your company name is your brand. We help you select and reserve a trade name with the Department of Economic Development (DED) and manage all aspects of the license application, renewal, and amendments, including:

  • Initial approval from authorities

  • Issuance of commercial, industrial, or professional licenses

  • Fast-track license processing and modifications

MOA Drafting and Notarization

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a key legal document that outlines your company’s structure and ownership. Our legal team drafts customized MOAs and manages notarization through certified UAE notaries, ensuring full legal compliance.

Government Approvals and Permits

Certain business activities require specific government permissions. We coordinate with all relevant authorities to obtain the necessary approvals and permits, including:

  • Dubai Municipality

  • Chamber of Commerce

  • Ministry of Health, Education, and other regulatory bodies

Regulatory Compliance and Licensing Requirements

We help you navigate complex regulatory frameworks to ensure your company meets all licensing, legal, and operational requirements. This includes guidance on documentation, financial reporting, and risk mitigation.

Office Leasing and Ejari Registration

Need a business address? We assist with leasing office space, business centers, or virtual offices that meet DED requirements. We also handle Ejari registration, a mandatory step for obtaining trade licenses in Dubai.

Document Clearing and Government Coordination

Our team provides seamless handling of all government document clearing, translations, and coordination, including:

  • Legal attestations

  • Document delivery and tracking

  • Government portal updates
