Business Setup Services in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

Setting up a company in the UAE or Saudi Arabia is not a single form β€” it is a sequence of decisions that affect ownership, visa quota, tax position, and banking for years. Mainland LLC versus DMCC free zone versus Riyadh MISA licence each has different costs, timelines, and restrictions. We speak with founders every week who started the wrong structure and paid to fix it later. ISZ Global matches you with verified setup consultants who handle licensing, MOA drafting, government approvals, and PRO services in your target emirate or Saudi city. Tell us your nationality, activity, budget, and whether you need visas or a physical office. We shortlist advisors who set up businesses like yours β€” not generic agents who push whichever licence pays the highest commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mainland or free zone β€” which is better for my business?

It depends on your clients, visa needs, and whether you require mainland government contracts. Free zones suit many service businesses; mainland LLCs allow wider UAE market access. Your matched consultant will model both options.

How long does UAE company setup typically take?

Free zone setups often complete in one to two weeks. Mainland LLC formation typically takes two to four weeks depending on activity and approvals. Saudi MISA licences may take longer β€” your advisor will give a realistic timeline.

Is the initial consultation free through ISZ Global?

Yes. Submit a match request and we will introduce you to verified business setup specialists within 24 hours β€” free and with no obligation.
