Arakan

Atlas

UAE setup reference

The facts behind a UAE company setup, in one place.

Free zones and mainland, packages, fees, visas, licence activities and which zones permit them — each with the date it was last checked, and every gap marked as a gap.

Free with any Arakan account.

What Atlas holds

Every free zone and mainland emirate

Packages and what each one includes, visa allowances, share capital, office rules, renewal terms, family visa costs and the authority that licenses you.

Mainland licence activities

Over two thousand activities with their ISIC classification, and the emirate fees where Atlas holds them.

Which zones permit an activity

Permitted, permitted with conditions, needs an extra licence, or not permitted — and "no record" where Atlas does not know.

Side by side

Compare up to six zones on the same facts, and price each one for your own visas, family and office.

How Atlas treats a fact

Every figure shows when it was checked

Each zone, package and activity carries the date it was last checked against its source, and the source itself where Atlas holds it.

Gaps are shown as gaps

Where Atlas does not hold a figure it says so. A missing fee is never shown as zero, and an unknown permission is never shown as allowed.

Facts, not advice

Atlas does not rank zones or tell you which to choose. When you want advice on your own setup, Scout takes it from there.

Look it up before you set it up.
