IFZA business setup and company formation from AED 12,900. Trade licence typically issued within 5 working days of document submission. 100% foreign ownership. Named advisor from day one. Full end-to-end support: banking, accounting & corporate tax included.
Why Virtue Wins
Most consultants in Dubai make vague promises. Virtue is built on radical transparency — so you know exactly what you're getting before you pay a single dirham.
From your first message to license receipt, you have one named, senior advisor who manages your file. You'll never repeat yourself to a different agent.
Others: Rotate you through 3–5 agents, losing context each time
We send you a line-by-line cost breakdown before you commit. IFZA authority fees, our service fee, visa costs, medical — every item named and fixed.
Others: Low headline price, high add-ons revealed after approval
We submit applications same-day, pre-check every document to avoid rejections, and liaise directly with IFZA via our dedicated partner portal. Most licences are issued within 5 working days of complete document submission — we never sit on your file.
Others: Submit and wait passively — delays caused by their errors, not the authority
IFZA now mandates audited accounts at renewal (from Sep 2025). We set up your compliance calendar, introduce approved auditors, and send you reminders — at no extra cost.
Others: Walk away after licence issuance; you discover compliance obligations too late
We pre-screen your business model against UAE bank criteria before applying. Our 94% first-attempt approval rate reflects which institution we choose, not luck.
Others: Submit to any bank and leave you to follow up for weeks
IFZA entities can't directly trade on UAE mainland. We advise you on the compliant route — distributor, agent, or mainland branch — before you commit, not after.
Others: Mention this limitation only when clients encounter it months later
