Choose your structure

Free Zone or Mainland. The first decision that matters.

It shapes your ownership, market access, cost, visas and tax. We help you decide it first, with full clarity.

Two options

Two paths, different strengths.

Option 01

Free Zone

  • 100% foreign ownership
  • Lower setup cost, faster licensing
  • Tax incentives on qualifying income
  • Flexible visa quotas
  • Advised and coordinated directly by And Again Advisory

Best for international trade, services, and lean overhead.

Option 02

Mainland

  • Direct access to the full UAE market
  • Eligible for government contracts
  • Operate anywhere in the UAE
  • Broader activity scope
  • All seven emirates covered

Best for local market focus, retail, and expansion.

What we weigh with you

Six factors decide it. We walk all six.

01

Cost

Setup and renewal, government and advisory, one-off and annual. Never blended, always itemised.

02

Visa needs

How many now, how many in a year, and which structure carries that quota most efficiently.

03

Banking

Which structures banks read comfortably for your activity and shareholding.

04

Tax treatment

Qualifying Free Zone income can benefit from 0% corporate tax, subject to conditions we assess properly, never assume.

05

Licensed activity

Checked against the authority's list before filing, so nothing is restricted later.

06

Your customers

Where they are decides more than any brochure. Selling into the local market points mainland.
