Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Still have questions? Explore our FAQs or book a free call to get your specific needs answered.
1. How fast can I get my license and start operating?
2. Do I need to be physically present in the UAE to register my company?
No, physical presence is not required to incorporate. The entire process — including signature, application, and licence issuance — can be completed remotely. However, if you’re applying for a residency visa, you’ll need to enter the UAE for the medical test and ID processing (which we help coordinate).
3. Can I open a UAE bank account for my company?
4. Will my company be subject to UAE corporate tax?
The UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax in 2024, but SPC Free Zone entities can remain tax-exempt under certain conditions — particularly if they do not generate local UAE-sourced income. We help assess your structure in advance and guide you through eligibility for zero-tax status, where applicable.
5. Can I run multiple types of business activities under one company?
Yes. SPC Free Zone allows up to five different activities on a single licence, and these can span across sectors (e.g., consulting + software + trading). This makes it ideal for startups, digital businesses, and service providers with diversified operations.
6. What’s the difference between a Free Zone company and a Mainland company?
Free Zone companies benefit from simplified rules, 100% ownership, and tax advantages — but they cannot directly invoice clients in the UAE mainland without additional licensing. However, SPC offers a dual-licence option that allows your Free Zone company to operate legally across both zones without setting up a second entity.
7. How many employee visas can I apply for through SPC?
There are no fixed caps. Unlike many other zones that restrict you to a small number of visas, SPC Free Zone allows you to scale your team as your office size and business needs grow. We help coordinate each visa application under your company’s quota.
