Our goal is to help you make informed business decisions.
Do I need physical office space to start my business?
Certainly not. Many free zones offer affordable and effective options for flexi-desks or virtual offices. Our team of experts will help you find the right facility based on your visa and operational requirements.
Can I obtain a residence visa with my company set up?
Yes. Investors, partners, or employees can apply for residence visas based on their business package and jurisdiction. APX Start takes care of the entire visa process, including the establishment card, medical certificate, and Emirates ID.
How much does it cost to start a business?
The cost of doing business varies depending on location, visa requirements, and the nature of the business activity. Typically, mainland licenses start at AED 12,500, while free zone licenses begin at AED 5,750. With APX Start, you won’t find any hidden fees on custom packages.
Is APX Start able to assist with opening a business bank account in the UAE?
Yes, absolutely. We work with leading UAE banks, including Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, RAKBank, and WIO to support you in opening your corporate account.
Do I have to visit Dubai to start a business?
The process of registering your company remotely can be done in several free zones and offshore jurisdictions. If you apply for a UAE residence visa, however, you will be required to show physical presence. APX Start provides remote setup assistance to international clients.
