Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start a company in Dubai and would really appreciate insights from people who’ve already gone through the process. I understand there are different options like mainland, free zone, and offshore, each with its own rules, costs, and timelines.

I’m especially curious about how professional consultants add value, since navigating licenses, visas, and compliance seems complex. Has anyone here used business setup services in dubai to streamline the process, and was it worth the investment? Any recommendations, common pitfalls to avoid, or tips for first-time entrepreneurs would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
