How it works
Two weeks, five parallel tracks.
The reason a company takes months elsewhere is that each step waits for the last. We run licensing, office, immigration, banking and tax side by side. Here is the actual plan we work from.
The first 14 days
What runs when.
A typical Free Zone file with two visas. Mainland adds three to five working days to the licensing track. Everything else stays the same.
