So, in order to start establishing a company in the Dubai Free Zone, and if this is your first experience in establishing a project, you must implement the following tips to the fullest extent.

This factor is essential when you want to establish a company, whether in the free zone or anywhere else. Implementing this matter helps you to see the feasibility of establishing the project and whether working on it will benefit you or not.

Do not worry at all about conducting a feasibility study, as this is not a difficult matter and you can implement it yourself or by seeking the expertise of others, whether they are owners of projects similar to your project or legal experts to help you with the economic matters related to the project you intend to implement, but the feasibility study for your project must include several details such as the market surrounding your project and the feasibility behind your project, whether economic, practical or market feasibility.

2- Create a business plan for the company (project)

Implementing this factor includes the steps related to the company or project’s progress and the type of strategy you intend to follow, in addition to the fact that it must be comprehensive of all other important matters related to this project, for example, the project’s budget, its objectives, its marketing, its competitors, its markets, its resources, whether financial or human, the problems you may face and finding alternative solutions for them, and so on.

3- Completing the official documents and required registrations.

4- Determine the company’s headquarters

The main headquarters of the company you intend to establish must be determined as a basic procedure within the company establishment procedures. In any case, you must know that the company’s headquarters depends primarily on its size and the total number of employees and work team.
