Welcome to the most comprehensive site on how to establish a new business in the UAE. ILS Daman, based in Dubai, is the region’s leading consultancy when it comes to setting up a new business either in Dubai or one of the other Emirates.

Browse the site for detailed information on the types of company available in the UAE, in Free Zones, mainland and offshore. For each type of Dubai company there is a datasheet and a price guide. Our aim is to convey sufficient understanding of Dubai companies for you as an inward investor to decide which is likely to be the right one to pursue.

ILS Daman’s main office is strategically placed in the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) where international wholesale finance businesses are quickly taking up space in what is a vast project. Setting up a new DIFC company is not a straightforward process. A partner inside DIFC such as ILS Daman is ideally placed to work with you to establish your DIFC company efficiently and professionally. We also maintain an office outside DIFC from which we set up both Dubai and other jurisdictions’ offshore companies.

Establishing a new trading business in the UAE is not complicated but there are some fairly exacting processes along the way. By choosing ILS Daman as your mentor on the ground in setting up your Dubai business you will avoid many of the frustrations and extra costs suffered by others. Most of our new business is led by referral, and we hope you will begin to understand why.

ILS Daman is part of the international fiduciary, the ILS Group. In Dubai the ILS Group is partnered by Daman, a respected and long established UAE business.
