We work with first time founders, SMEs and international groups entering the UAE market, from more than 60 nationalities. Instead of selling the easiest package, we recommend the jurisdiction and licence that fit your activity, budget and long term plans, then stay on as one point of contact for renewals, visas through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, and tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority, so nothing slips once you are trading.

Get started
Get In Touch

Layerz is a Dubai business setup consultancy that handles company formation, residence and Golden Visas, corporate banking, accounting, VAT and corporate tax, and compliance under one roof. One team advises on the right mainland or free zone structure, then prepares and submits every application to the relevant authority, with fixed pricing and a single point of contact from first idea to trade licence.

What makes Layerz different?

Layerz recommends the jurisdiction and licence that fit your activity, client base and budget, not the package that is easiest to sell. A mainland licence from the Department of Economy and Tourism suits companies selling across the UAE, while a free zone such as DMCC, IFZA or Meydan suits 100 percent foreign ownership and lower cost. Every quote is fixed and covers both government and service fees, so there are no surprises later.

Which services does Layerz cover?

Layerz covers the full lifecycle of a UAE company: the trade licence, the establishment card, residence visas and Emirates ID through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs and the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, corporate bank account opening, and ongoing accounting, VAT and corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority. Staff visas and labour matters run through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, all handled by the same team.
