UAE Company Formation with the
Right Structure from Day One
Mainland, free zone or offshore.
Choose between mainland, free zone and offshore pathways with a setup approach aligned to your business goals.
A leading destination for regional access and international credibility.
The UAE remains a leading destination for entrepreneurs, investors and companies seeking regional access, business-friendly infrastructure and international credibility.
ORVANTIS helps clients assess UAE formation options based on business activity, target customers, ownership expectations, licensing needs and operating model.
Choosing on setup cost alone creates problems later.
Many clients are overwhelmed by the choice between free zones, mainland structures and offshore options. Choosing based only on low setup cost can create problems later in banking, visas, operations and contracting.
