Everything an expat or overseas business needs to trade legally in the UAE.

Choosing mainland

Right when you need to sell directly to the UAE market, bid for government work, or sponsor a larger team. Higher ongoing cost, widest permissions.

Choosing freezone

Right for consultants, holding structures and international trade. Lower cost, faster to issue, visa quota tied to your package. We are based in Expo City Dubai.

Selected work

Structures we have built.

UK CONSULTANCY

Freezone

Two-partner advisory firm relocated from London. Freezone licence, two investor visas and a corporate account, with monthly books from the first invoice.

E-COMMERCE BRAND

Mainland

Retailer needing to sell and warehouse locally. Mainland trade licence, VAT registration and staff visas for a small warehouse team.

FAMILY RELOCATION

Visas

Founder moving with spouse and two children. Investor visa plus three dependant visas, Emirates IDs and schooling paperwork sequenced around term dates.

“They told us plainly that the freezone licence we had been sold elsewhere would not cover our activity. Saved us a year of trouble.”

Managing Director, advisory firm

“Licence, visas and the bank account were handled while I was still in Europe. I flew in for biometrics and nothing else.”

Founder, e-commerce brand

“One person answers, every time. After two other agents that alone was worth the fee.”

Owner, logistics company

About zaklink

I moved from Australia to the UAE. Now I help other people do the same.

I went through it myself: the licence questions, the visa appointments, the bank that wanted one more document. I know which parts genuinely matter and which parts are noise, because I did it before I did it for anyone else.

Most setup problems are not legal problems: they are sequencing problems.

A licence issued before the visa quota is checked. A bank application filed before the compliance file is ready. Books started three quarters late.

ZAKLINK keeps company formation, visas, banking and bookkeeping in one team so the order is right and one person stays accountable for it. We work with expats relocating to the UAE and with established businesses opening a Gulf entity.

questions

Before you book.

Do I need to be in the UAE to start?

No. Company formation and most document steps are handled remotely with digital signatures. You normally travel once, for the medical and Emirates ID biometrics.

Mainland or freezone: which should I choose?

It depends on who you sell to, how many visas you need and your budget. Freezone suits consultants, holding structures and international trade; mainland suits selling directly into the UAE market or sponsoring a larger team. We give a recommendation on the first call.

How long does the whole process take?

Licence issuance is typically a matter of days once documents are complete. Visas usually follow within a few weeks, and bank onboarding depends on the bank and your profile: we set expectations honestly before you start.

What does it cost?

Government and freezone charges vary by jurisdiction, activity and visa count, so we quote them separately from our fee rather than hiding both in one number. You get a full breakdown before committing.

Can you help if my company already exists?

Yes. We take over visa renewals, license renewals, bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax filings for companies already established in the UAE.

Do you guarantee a bank account?

No honest advisor can. What we can do is prepare a compliance file that stands up to review and introduce you to banks that onboard profiles like yours, plus digital alternatives if a traditional bank declines.
