So that nothing stands in your way legally

German tax advisor at your side

German tax advice for your emigration to Dubai

We cooperate with the German tax advisor Patric Böhle and his BaBo Tax Steuerberatungs GmbH. Patric will conduct a zoom call with you and your tax advisor and also point out potential risks. We want you not only to have a good feeling, but above all to start your new business without worries. Life in Dubai and not have a rude (expensive) awakening later. This initial consultation is included in our price - if it is not concluded, we charge a one-time fee of 250 EUR.

How to set up a company in Dubai and can you do that without emigrating? Do I need a partner "on site"? which conditions I have to bring and how to open a bank account? Is there negative interest in the UAE for high bank balances and the most important question: Can I save tax by setting up a company in Dubai?

More and more people are asking themselves these questions. Be it because increasing digitalisation often makes the actual place of work less and less important and one appreciates the good weather and the country - or because as an entrepreneur or existing company one simply wants to save taxes.

We specialise in assisting start-ups in Dubai and would like to provide answers to a few of the most important questions below. Please note, however, that this information is no substitute for personal (and individual) advice and that we are happy to provide further information.

The most important thing in advance: Why start up through an agency?

Many entrepreneurs who are dealing with the topic of "setting up a company abroad" for the first time and have browsed through the first websites on the subject initially think: That all sounds feasible and I can save the costs for the agency. And yes, you can also set up the company on your own, but from our point of view this is not really "the cheapest" solution.

When you build a house, you build it with an architect (unless you are one yourself) or a developer - and trust the advice of the professionals so that you don't end up with sockets missing in the corners, the power lines in the kitchen on the wrong wall or a room without a door.

We help you to avoid expensive mistakes and, above all, to save time and nerves: we know the authorities and the ways, we provide you with checklists of the documents to be submitted, we work with you to find out which type of company and which free zone is best suited for your purposes... we prepare everything for you and, above all, we also take care of the account opening with our partners, which is often a lengthy and problematic undertaking if you are trying to do this as a private person from abroad. And: we are transparent!

As an agency, we receive discounts on some of the state foundation fees, which we pass on 1:1, so that the "additional costs" due to our agency services are significantly reduced - in addition to the fact that we help you with additional costs (longer stay on site, multiple entries due to missing documents, etc.) and time losses (searching for the relevant authorities, discussions with the banks, etc.), Apply for a visa etc.).

Is another partner/shareholder "on site" necessary?

No, even as a foreigner you can set up a company in Dubai on your own, which you will then own on your own. However, you should keep an eye on the tax rules (especially "place of management"), so that the income of the foreign company is not subject to German taxation, which is precisely what you want to avoid.

How do I open a bank account in the UAE and is there negative interest there?

Once the company is established, it is generally possible for the company to open a bank account. These are usually in Dirham or USD, but there are also EUR accounts. However, the process is complicated and time-consuming, especially if you don't live locally. Here, our good contacts to major banks help us (and you) so that the process runs quickly and without complications. "Negative interest" (or custody fees) are unknown in Dubai; depending on the currency in which the account is held, there may even be positive interest on balances.

And important: money-back guarantee

You only pay for the services you receive from us. Should a company foundation through us not work out, we will refund you the full invoice amount - no ifs, ands or buts!
