FAQs
Company formation FAQs
- How long does it take to incorporate a company?
- UK Limited companies are typically formed at Companies House within 24 hours. Delaware C-Corps and Wyoming LLCs take 1–3 business days. UAE Free Zone entities (DMCC, IFZA, RAKEZ, Meydan) take 7–10 working days end-to-end; Mainland LLCs take 10–15. Saudi Arabia MISA licence and LLC registration is 4–8 weeks. Qatar QFC / QFZA is 4–6 weeks. Pakistan SECP Pvt Ltd is 5–10 working days.
- Which jurisdiction should I incorporate in?
- It depends on where your customers, team and IP sit, your tax residency, and whether you need investor-friendly structures (Delaware C-Corp), asset protection (Wyoming LLC), regional headquarters (Saudi Arabia RHQ), 0% Free Zone tax (UAE / Qatar QFZA), or a simple domestic vehicle (UK Ltd, Canadian CCPC, Australian Pty Ltd, Pakistan Pvt Ltd). We advise on the structuring trade-offs before you commit.
- Can non-residents own a US LLC or C-Corp?
- Yes. Non-US founders can 100% own a Delaware C-Corp or Wyoming / Delaware LLC. We handle EIN applications (including without an SSN via IRS Form SS-4), registered agent, ITIN where needed, and the annual Form 5472 + 1120 filings that foreign-owned single-member LLCs must file.
- What's included in a UAE Free Zone or Mainland setup?
- Trade licence, memorandum of association, establishment card, e-channel registration, corporate bank account introduction, VAT and Corporate Tax registrations, and (Mainland only) local service agent / partner coordination. We also handle residency visas and Emirates ID for founders and family.
- Do you help open a business bank account after incorporation?
- Yes. We coordinate introductions with corporate banks in every jurisdiction — high-street banks in the UK, US and Canada; Emirates NBD / Mashreq / WIO / RAKBANK in the UAE; SNB / Al Rajhi in KSA; QNB / Commercial Bank in Qatar. For difficult profiles (non-resident founders, crypto, cross-border e-commerce) we plug in fintech alternatives such as Wise, Mercury, Airwallex or Payoneer.
- What ongoing compliance do I need after incorporation?
- Every jurisdiction has annual filings (UK Confirmation Statement + accounts, US annual report + franchise tax, UAE trade licence renewal + Corporate Tax return, SECP annual return, ASIC annual review, CRA T2, GTA / ZATCA annual returns). We include ongoing compliance in a fixed monthly retainer so no filing gets missed.
- How much does incorporation cost?
- Government / regulator fees vary — from £12 for UK Companies House to AED 12,000–25,000+ for UAE Free Zones and SAR 12,000+ for MISA. Our fixed-fee incorporation packages cover advisory, filings, registered agent / office and tax registrations, and we quote all-inclusive so there are no surprises.
