Mainland, free zone or offshore — our consultants guide you through the trade-offs of each, even when the honest answer earns us less.
Chris made the classic setup mistakes himself when he moved to Dubai — the company exists so you can skip them and hit the ground running.

Emirates Business Setup, founded in 2022, is now recognized among the top business setup consultancies in Dubai and across the UAE.

With clients of 16+ nationalities successfully relocated from their home countries, entrepreneurs across the globe have built trust in us for their new business setup in Dubai — and the number we’re proudest of: over 80% of our clients renew their trade licenses with us annually. In this industry, retention is the only review that can’t be faked.
“I am Chris Elliott, born and raised in Germany (to British parents). When I moved to Dubai, I made many mistakes when trying to set up a business here. I started this company to help other entrepreneurs, so that they could learn from my mistakes. Working with us will save you time, allowing your business to get started quickly — no headaches, we promise. And I don’t regret moving to Dubai. Not for a moment. You’re going to love it here.” Chris has built companies in Germany, Dubai, the USA and Hong Kong — read more on his page.
It is important to have an experienced team when starting your UAE company formation — any wrong decision leads down the wrong path. Our consultants guide clients through all the pros and cons, and that’s why we stand out: we do not surprise our clients after they sign up. Each activity and every business license has its own constraints and fees imposed by the UAE government — we provide detailed depictions and full costing before any contract is signed. We believe the client is always king: we solicit feedback after every service and use it to improve. That philosophy shows in our 4.9-star Google rating — and in who keeps coming back.
We serve clients around the world, and businesses of every kind — and where a need is truly specialist, we don’t pretend: we partner. Currency exchange, crypto licensing, insurance, real estate — vetted specialist partners handle their piece, and we stay your single point of contact. The same goes beyond the UAE: want to open in Hong Kong, the USA or Cyprus? We are partnered there too — and Chris has built companies in those markets himself, so the guidance comes from firsthand experience, not a brochure. See the international desk and GCC services.
