## How Gulf Gateway works

1. Consultation: activity, ownership and visa needs are mapped against mainland, free zone and offshore, and the firm states plainly which route fits and what it costs.
2. Documents and approvals: trade name reservation, initial approval and the paperwork that follows, prepared and filed on the client's behalf.
3. License issued: trade license and establishment card, originals plus a digital set.
4. Visas, banking and beyond: residence visas, Emirates ID, bank account and the ongoing accounting and compliance work, with the same team throughout.

Pricing: government fees and the firm's fee are quoted separately and itemized before the client commits.
Timelines: most free zone licenses are issued in days rather than weeks once documents are in order. Mainland timelines depend on the activity and any external approvals, so a realistic date is given in the first consultation rather than a headline figure.

## Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I own 100 percent of my company in the UAE?
A: In free zones, yes. On the mainland, full foreign ownership is permitted on most activities, though some remain restricted. Gulf Gateway checks the specific activity against the current list before the client commits.

Q: Do I need to be in Dubai to start?
A: No. Formation can begin remotely and most documents can be signed digitally or attested in the client's country. Presence in the UAE is needed for Emirates ID biometrics and, in most cases, to open the bank account in person.

Q: Will Gulf Gateway help with the bank account?
A: Yes. The firm prepares the file, explains what compliance teams look for and introduces the client to banks that work with their structure and activity. No provider can guarantee approval.

Q: What happens after the license is issued?
A: The same team carries on with visas, Emirates ID, banking, accounting, tax filing and renewals. The client keeps the consultant who scoped the setup.
