Introduction
The UAE has firmly established itself as one of the world’s leading business hubs—offering a gateway to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia. With the introduction of Corporate Tax, enhanced business regulations, and a growing economy, 2025 presents new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors looking to start a company in the UAE.
At The Capital Zone, we help you take advantage of this thriving environment by providing end-to-end company formation services tailored to your goals.

Global Connectivity: Dubai and Abu Dhabi serve as central hubs for trade, logistics, and finance.
Investor-Friendly Tax Regime: The UAE offers 0% personal income tax and a low 9% corporate tax—one of the most competitive rates globally.
100% Foreign Ownership: Most mainland and free zone companies now allow full foreign ownership without the need for a local sponsor.
Robust Legal Framework: Transparent laws, investor protection, and a strong regulatory environment build long-term business confidence.
Lifestyle & Talent: A safe, modern, and dynamic environment attracts top global talent.
