UAE Services for USA Clients

American nationals can form a UAE free zone or mainland company with 100% foreign ownership. We manage the entire process remotely — trade licence applications, company documentation, apostille of US-issued documents (where required), bank account introductions, and residence visa processing. US persons establishing offshore structures should also consult a US tax adviser regarding FBAR, FATCA, and foreign corporation reporting obligations — this is separate from the UAE formation process but important to address early.

Both free zone and mainland structures are available, with the right choice depending on your target market, sector, and operational requirements.

Dubai has a well-established American expat community, with American-curriculum international schools, familiar consumer brands, and a business culture that American professionals typically find accessible. Our relocation team supports American families through every element of the move — from housing searches in communities popular with US expats to school applications, vehicle registration, and settling-in support. We also coordinate with our PRO team for family and dependent visa applications.

DIFC is the natural choice for American financial services, fintech, and investment management firms in the UAE. DMCC is the leading option for commodities and trading businesses. JAFZA serves logistics and manufacturing operations. For professional services, consulting, and technology businesses, IFZA and SHAMS offer competitive pricing with a broad range of permitted activities. We guide you through the right structure and manage the full registration process.
