For the United States founders · Updated June 2026

UAE Company Setup for US Citizens

US founders choose Dubai for tax efficiency, global market access, and lifestyle. This guide covers UAE incorporation mechanics — not US tax advice — for American passport holders.

Americans often structure UAE freezone companies for international SaaS, consulting, and holding IP. Qualifying freezone income may benefit from 0% UAE corporate tax subject to FTA rules.

Documents

  • US passport
  • Proof of address
  • Business plan
  • Source-of-funds explanation for banks
  • Apostille if authority requests US notarisation

Costs & timeline

  • License: from AED 4,888
  • Visa package: AED 12,500–20,000
  • Setup: 3–7 business days after KYC
  • Banking: 2–6 weeks
Important: UAE setup does not automatically change US tax obligations. Plan both sides with qualified advisers.

Najoom Corporate Services helps founders from the United States and worldwide with freezone, mainland, visa, and banking support.
