Business Setup in Dubai Marina
A high-density waterfront address with deep freehold stock.
Business setup in Dubai Marina places your company in one of the city's busiest waterfront districts, a designated freehold area where larger apartments and penthouses clear the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold. It suits founders in property, lifestyle, tech and professional services who want a central, well-connected base.
We handle the licence, the office or serviced address, visas, banking and the Golden Visa where the property qualifies.
What should you know about Dubai Marina?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Dubai Marina?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Dubai Marina is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
Central and connected
Metro, tram and Sheikh Zayed Road put clients and staff within easy reach across the city.
Deep property choice
A wide range of freehold stock means a Golden Visa purchase can be matched to budget while clearing AED 2 million.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set up a company in Dubai Marina?
Yes. A Dubai Marina business is usually a Dubai mainland company licensed by the Department of Economy and Tourism. We confirm the activity and the office requirement for your case.

Does Dubai Marina property qualify for the Golden Visa?
Larger apartments and penthouses in Dubai Marina typically clear the AED 2 million Dubai Land Department valuation the property route needs. Smaller units may not on their own, though units can be combined. We confirm the valuation first.
-
Is Dubai Marina freehold?
Yes. Dubai Marina is a designated freehold area, so foreign nationals can hold title through the Dubai Land Department.
