Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

What does Business Future actually do?+

We're a business consultancy and corporate services firm that helps entrepreneurs and companies form, manage, and grow businesses across the UAE — from initial company formation through ongoing accounting, compliance, and advisory support.

Do I need to be in the UAE to start the process?+

No. Most of the formation process can be handled remotely, with certain steps (like biometrics for Emirates ID) requiring your presence in the UAE at a later stage.

How do I get started?+

Request a free quote or book a consultation. We'll discuss your business activity and goals, then recommend the right structure before any commitment is required.

Which is better ÔÇö Mainland or Free Zone?+

It depends on your business activity. Mainland offers maximum flexibility to trade across the UAE, while Free Zone is often more cost-efficient for export, consulting, or digital businesses.

Can I fully own my company as a foreigner?+

Yes — 100% foreign ownership is available for most activities in both Mainland and Free Zone jurisdictions under current UAE regulations.

How long does company formation take?+

Many licenses can be issued within a few working days once documentation is complete, though timelines vary by jurisdiction and activity.

Do I need a physical office?+

Mainland companies generally require office space. Many Free Zones offer flexi-desk options at lower cost. Offshore companies need no physical UAE office.

Is it hard to open a corporate bank account?+

UAE banks have become more selective, but a well-prepared application with clear business documentation significantly improves approval chances. We help prepare that documentation and recommend banks suited to your activity.

Can I use a fintech account instead of a traditional bank?+

Yes, several fintech providers offer business accounts that are faster to open and suit certain business types, especially early-stage or digital-first companies.

How long does bank account opening take?+

Timelines vary by bank, typically a few weeks from submission to approval, depending on documentation completeness and the bank's internal review process.

Can you help with visas for my family and staff?+

Yes, we assist with visa processing for owners, dependents, and employees, in line with the visa quota allowed by your chosen jurisdiction and office type.

How many visas can I get with my license?+

Visa quota depends on your office/facility size and jurisdiction. Larger offices and Mainland setups generally allow higher quotas — we'll confirm your exact allocation during consultation.

What is PRO service and do I need it?+

PRO (Public Relations Officer) services handle government paperwork — visas, Emirates ID, labor cards, and attestations. Most businesses use PRO support to avoid the time cost of navigating government processes directly.

What's included in your service fee?+

Our packages typically cover consultation, license processing, and document support. Government fees, visas, and office space are quoted separately with a transparent, itemized breakdown.

Are there any hidden costs?+

No — we provide an itemized quote before you commit, covering government fees, our service fee, and any optional add-ons, so there are no surprises later.

Do costs differ between Free Zones?+

Yes, significantly. Different Free Zones (e.g. IFZA, RAKEZ, DMCC) have different fee structures — we help you compare options suited to your activity and budget.
