United Arab Emirates / Dubai
U.A.E

Advantages to Incorporate in UAE

Advantageous geographical location creates unique opportunities for incorporation of commercial and industrial companies in the United Arab Emirates. Since the UAE is located between Asia and Europe, the distance from the UAE to the major cities of the world is practically the same. It is very easy to organize and adjust the supply of products to various countries by air or sea transport from the Emirates.

A significant advantage of incorporating in Dubai is presence in the country of offices of large global banks. The absence of restrictions on profit remittance, foreign exchange transactions and capital movements make the UAE one of the safest countries for investors.

Another aspect in favour of incorporation of business in the UAE is stable currency: Dirham exchange rate has not changed since 1982, as the rate of dirham is tied to the exchange rate of dollar.
