FAQs

Questions about UAE setup

Can I form a US LLC if I do not live in the USA?
Yes. Non-residents can own a US LLC. We handle formation, the EIN, a US address and phone number, and help with banking and payment gateways.
Should I choose UAE mainland or free zone?
It depends on where your customers are, the activities you need and how many visas you require. We compare both for your case during the consultation.
Do I need to travel to set up my company?
For US and UK companies, usually not. For UAE visas you will need to be in the UAE for medical and biometrics steps. We plan the timeline with you.
Do you help after the company is formed?
Yes. We continue with tax, compliance and renewals — and we can build your brand, website and marketing through Seuor Grow.
