How we support you

A clear route from business idea to operational entity

The right jurisdiction, legal form and licence depend on where you will trade, the activities you need, shareholder plans and operational requirements. United VAT helps founders and established groups compare practical options, prepare applications and coordinate the administrative steps that follow incorporation.

Sub-solution

Mainland company formation

A mainland entity can be the right fit for businesses that need broad access to the UAE market, premises, employees or public- and private-sector customers. We help you shape the setup around the intended activity and coordinate the application journey with the relevant licensing authority.

United VAT can support with

  • Initial consultation on business activities, legal form, ownership and emirate-level requirements
  • Trade name, initial approval and licence application document coordination
  • Post-licensing checklist covering establishment records, tax registrations and recurring compliance

Free zone company setup

UAE free zones differ by permitted activities, facilities, visa allocation, costs and access to mainland trade. United VAT helps you compare suitable jurisdictions, understand the operational boundaries and prepare a complete application for the selected authority.

United VAT can support with

  • Free zone comparison based on sector, activity, workspace, visa and shareholder requirements
  • Entity-type, licence-package and facility selection with a documented cost and renewal view
  • Application, KYC and incorporation document coordination through licence issuance

Offshore business structuring

Offshore structures may support legitimate holding, investment or international activities, but they are not interchangeable with an operating mainland or free zone company. We help clients clarify the objective, evaluate the structure with the right legal and tax input, and assemble the required corporate documentation.

United VAT can support with

  • Purpose-led review of shareholders, activities, asset holding and intended transaction flows
  • Coordination with registered agents and relevant legal or tax specialists where required
  • Incorporation records, beneficial ownership information and ongoing compliance calendar support

Documentation support

Incomplete or inconsistent documents can slow incorporation, immigration, banking and renewals. We organise the required records, track versions and coordinate signatures, attestations and translations so each stakeholder receives a consistent document pack.

United VAT can support with

  • Document checklists for shareholders, authorised signatories, corporate owners and managers
  • Coordination of forms, resolutions, constitutional documents, declarations and certified copies
  • Application tracking, expiry monitoring and secure handover of the final corporate record set

Local liaison and PRO services

After setup, licences, visas, labour and establishment records still require ongoing attention. Our PRO support coordinates routine authority-facing processes, keeps management informed of dependencies and maintains a calendar of renewals and administrative actions.

United VAT can support with

  • Licence renewals, amendments and routine company-record updates with relevant authorities
  • Coordination of establishment, immigration, labour and residency-related applications through authorised channels
  • Status tracking, document collection, renewal reminders and escalation of missing approvals or information
