Business Bay offers a central corporate address near Downtown Dubai with a large supply of offices, making it attractive for consultancies, agencies and professional services.
Management consulting, technology, marketing, real estate support, trading and other office-based activities may be suitable, subject to licensing and building permissions.
Many professional and commercial consultancy activities permit 100% foreign ownership. Any professional qualification or regulator requirement must also be satisfied.
Mainland premises requirements depend on the activity and authority rules. The proposed office arrangement must support valid tenancy documentation and immigration needs.
A mainland company can generally perform its approved activities across the UAE, subject to sector rules, client-site requirements and any emirate-specific approvals.
Shareholders should assess UAE corporate tax, VAT, transfer pricing and accounting together with UK residence, permanent establishment and reporting considerations.
