Read the full description

A Word decision guide of about 30 pages and an Excel scoring workbook for the first big choice a UAE founder makes: mainland, free zone or offshore. It does not tell you the answer. It gives you a method to reach your own answer and to defend it to your partners.

What is inside

  • Guide: what each structure is, the 14 criteria that decide the choice, how to compare quotes on the same basis over three years, six worked scenarios, common myths, a 30-day plan, and an email to send to agents and authorities (Appendix A).
  • Workbook: Your Business, Scoring (your weights, knock-outs and scores for up to four options), Quotes (three-year written quotes, blank cells for you to fill), Authority Questions (20 questions to put in writing), Decision Record, Instructions and a Worked Example with invented numbers.

Who it is for Founders, partners and advisers comparing structures; business owners moving from one structure to another; anyone who has three quotes that do not look comparable.

What it is not It states no free zone fees, licence prices or timelines, because they change and we will not guess them. It does not register a company, speak to an authority or replace a lawyer, PRO or tax adviser. Rules on ownership, mainland access for free zone companies, visas, tax and banking change: confirm each one in writing.

How we checked it We opened every workbook in desktop Excel on Windows, recalculated all formulas, and checked the worked examples against hand calculations. We measured Word page counts in desktop Word. We did not test Google Sheets, LibreOffice, Excel for Mac or Excel on the web.
