It starts with a thorough strategic consultation at an Amer Center branch or through our exclusive corporate portal. Our experts will analyse your intended commercial activities, decide on shareholders structures and advise on the best economic zone for your business model. In this stage, trade name availability is checked to make sure it conforms to the rules of naming set by the regulatory authorities in the United Arab Emirates.
The second phase is the document preparation and the first level background check. Our team drafts the Memorandum of Association, collects the passport copies of shareholders, drafts the corporate resolutions in case of setting up a subsidiary and files the initial registration file with the selected free zone authority. Preliminary legal approval is granted at this point, allowing the business to move on to facility selection.
Phase three is the signing of the lease agreement for the office space or flexi-desk. The free zone authorities provide flexible workspace solutions from digital co-working spaces to fully fitted corporate floors. The authority then issues the official licence document, together with the corporate incorporation certificates and the memorandum documents, after the end of the lease agreement.
The fourth phase involves the registration of the company and arranging immigration. Get your corporate Establishment Card. Amer Center registers your new company with the immigration authorities. This card activates the company profile in the immigration system, which allows you to process residence permits for partners and employees.
The final stage is completing residency and onboarding into operations. The Amer Center takes care of all aspects of the residency process for shareholders and staff, including issuance of entry permits, in-country status changes, express medical fitness appointments, Emirates ID biometric typing and final residency activation. Once the residency is finalised, our consultants will help you with document attestation and legal translation to prepare your business file to open a corporate bank account.
