An accountant sets you up — and stays. Not a sales agency that disappears once the licence prints.

Most setup agencies are sales shops: you get passed between salespeople, upsold packages you don't need, and left to find an accountant afterwards. We're ACCA-qualified accountants who handle the whole thing in-house — and we're still here long after your licence is printed.

One person, start to finish

You speak to the same qualified accountant every time — no call-centre hand-offs, and no repeating your details to a new “advisor” at every step.

An accountant guides you, not a salesperson

The person advising you actually understands the numbers, tax and compliance — not a commission-driven closer pushing the biggest package.

Clean books from day one

Much of your early spend leaves your own pocket before the company account is live. We track it from the very start, so your books are accurate and complete from the first dirham.

Everything in-house — no middlemen

Formation, bank account, payment gateway, VAT & CT registration and bookkeeping — all under one roof, not outsourced to third parties for a commission.

KYC once, reused everywhere

We complete your KYC a single time and reuse it for the bank, payment gateway and registrations — you're not asked for the same documents again and again.

We're a small business too

We know how much every dirham matters when you're starting out, so we steer you to the leanest, most economical setup that's right for you — no window-dressing.

From licence to your first invoice, all under one roof

We learn your business activity and goals, then recommend the free zone that fits your budget and Corporate Tax position.

🏢

Zero-fee setup

We open your free zone company with zero setup fees. You pay only the free zone's own licence package — nothing extra to us for the setup.

Get go-live ready

We open your corporate bank account, set up your payment gateway, register you with customs and the Chamber of Commerce, and configure your accounting system, VAT and CT registration.

🧾

Your first invoice

You issue your first invoice fully compliant, with your books already running and nothing left to fix later.

Zero setup fees, go-live ready

We open your UAE free zone company with zero setup fees — you pay only the free zone's own government charges, at cost, with no markup from us. From there we get you ready to trade under one roof: corporate bank account, payment gateway, customs and Chamber of Commerce registration, and a live accounting system, all the way to your first invoice. Your ongoing bookkeeping, VAT and tax filing then continue on a simple monthly plan.

Setting up on the mainland instead? We handle it on a transparent, pre-agreed fixed consulting fee — government charges are still passed on at cost.

Free zone licences from AED 3,999 — paid direct to the free zone at cost
AED 500 off your first retainer accounting plan when you set up with us — free zone or mainland.

Why set up your accounting at the same time as your licence?

Avoid the compliance scramble

Most new UAE businesses issue invoices before setting up proper accounting — then spend months reconstructing records. Starting clean means your first FTA return is accurate.

VAT and CT from the start

Corporate Tax registration is required for all UAE entities. VAT registration must happen within 30 days of crossing the threshold. We handle both as part of your setup, so you're never exposed to late registration penalties.

Choose the right free zone for CT

Some free zones are better positioned than others for QFZP qualification under Corporate Tax. We factor this into our free zone recommendation — it could save you 9% on your taxable income.

One fixed monthly fee

From the moment you're set up, your accounting is handled for one predictable monthly fee — no invoices per service, no billing surprises.

UAE company setup — what you need to know in 2026

Setting up a company in the UAE involves choosing between a free zone entity (LLC-FZ or FZE) and a mainland LLC. Free zone companies benefit from 100% foreign ownership, simplified setup, and potential 0% Corporate Tax on qualifying income. Mainland companies can trade freely across the UAE without restrictions.

Popular free zones for SMEs in 2026 include Meydan Free Zone, IFZA, and Shams — all offering low-cost setup, flexible visa packages, and good banking access. DMCC remains the premium choice for commodity trading, financial services, and multinational entities.

Simplybooks opens your free zone company with zero setup fees — you pay only the free zone's own licence package. We then take you from incorporation to your first invoice under one roof: corporate bank account opening, payment gateway, customs and Chamber of Commerce registration, and a fully configured cloud accounting system. Ongoing accounting continues on an affordable monthly plan, and mainland setup consultation is available on a fixed-fee basis.

All UAE entities must register for UAE Corporate Tax (introduced June 2023) and, if applicable, for VAT. Setting up accounting properly from the start — using FTA-approved software like Xero, Zoho Books, or Wafeq — avoids costly backlog cleanups and compliance gaps later.
