Common questions

Setup FAQs.

What is included in the Founders Support services?
Founders Support covers everything a founder needs before and after launch — feasibility studies, startup valuations, financial modelling, capital raising support, operations management, talent acquisition, campaign management, and more. Services can be taken as a monthly retainer or as one-off engagements for certain items.
Can you help us raise capital or find investors?
Yes. We support founders with investor-ready documentation, startup valuations, pitch preparation, and introductions to relevant capital sources. This falls under our Build Stage service and can be scoped as a standalone engagement.
Do you offer your services to international founders and businesses?
Yes. We regularly work with foreign nationals and international businesses establishing their presence in the UAE, including guidance on the optimal structure, activity selection, and how to navigate the local market from day one.
How long does company formation take?
It depends on the activity, chosen formation type, and the specific license being applied for. That said, formations can be as fast as 3–7 working days — mainland DED formations tend to be on the quicker end, while certain freezones or specialised licenses may take longer. We provide a clear timeline estimate as part of your proposal.
Do you work with both freezone and mainland companies?
Yes — we cover all major UAE freezones including DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA, UAQ, and SHAMS, as well as mainland DED entities across all seven Emirates.
