Business - Setting up
Abu Dhabi’s strategic location between the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa makes it an interesting option for establishing a new business or opening a regional office. As the Federal Capital, many companies strategically chose to locate here, ahead of other cities in the GCC.
The Abu Dhabi government ensures that there are no direct taxes on personal and company profits (the exception being oil companies and foreign banks), and custom duties are low and exempt on some imported goods.
Useful Abu Dhabi Government websites with details on licensing and registration are www.business.abudhabi.ae and www.uaeinteract.com/business
We recommend getting updated advice from our partners regarding licensing, ownership requirements and legal structures.
The Links Group www.linksabudhabi.com provide essential steps to company registration in United Arab Emirates and in Qatar.
