Before you get in touch
Quick answers to the questions founders ask most.
What are PRO services in Dubai?
PRO (Public Relations Officer) services handle a company's government paperwork in Dubai: trade licence issuance and renewal, visa application, renewal and cancellation, Emirates ID, labour contracts and document attestation.
How do I get a trade licence in Dubai?
Choose your business activity and jurisdiction (mainland via the Department of Economy and Tourism, or a free zone), reserve the trade name, get initial approval, sign the lease or flexi-desk agreement, and pay the fees to receive the licence. Bfirm manages every step.
Mainland or free zone: which is better?
Mainland licences allow you to trade directly across the UAE market, while free zones suit international trade with simpler procedures and 100% foreign ownership options. The right choice depends on your activity and clients.
Can Bfirm renew my company licence and visas?
Yes. We handle company licence renewal, employment visa renewal, dependent visas, visa cancellation and Emirates ID processing in Dubai and the other emirates.
What is the UAE Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa is a long-term UAE residency, up to 10 years, for eligible investors, entrepreneurs, specialised talent and their families.
Do you serve emirates other than Dubai?
Yes. We support company set-up and PRO services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
Does my UAE company need corporate tax and VAT registration?
UAE businesses must follow corporate tax rules and register for VAT when they meet the thresholds. Our accounting team assesses your case and handles registration and filing.
How long does company setup in Dubai take?
Timelines depend on the activity, the authority and how quickly documents are ready. After a short consultation we give you a clear step-by-step timeline for your case.
Can a foreign company open a branch in Dubai?
Yes. A foreign company can open a branch or representative office in Dubai. We legalise your parent company documents, secure approvals and obtain the licence.
What is UBO and AML compliance?
UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) filings record who owns and controls a UAE company, and AML policies show how you prevent money laundering. We prepare and maintain both.
What is document attestation and do I need it?
Attestation confirms that a document is genuine so UAE authorities and banks accept it. Visas, licences and branch openings often require attested documents. We manage the full chain.
