Onshore company registration is one of the easiest and most straightforward ways for foreign investors to conduct trade or set up a business in Dubai or other areas of the United Arab Emirates. Forming an onshore company can be highly beneficial to business owners, allowing them to operate within the profitable UAE market and benefit from zero percent corporate tax rates. At Charterhouse Lombard, we assist investors with onshore company registration in the United Arab Emirates.
Investors have the ability to open three types of firms in Dubai: 1.) Onshore firms used to work within the UAE local market, 2.) Free zone firms, usually employed by foreign investors operating in free zones in Dubai, 3.) Offshore companies that allow full foreign ownership and are working in Dubai as asset companies, property companies, or holding companies.
