Hi everyone,
I'm currently researching options for business setup in Dubai (https://dovisitdubai.ae/how-to-set-up-a-business-in-dubai-as-a-foreigner/) and would really appreciate some guidance from people with real experience. Dubai seems to offer strong advantages like tax benefits, strategic location, and access to global markets, but I'm trying to understand the actual process and hidden challenges.
How difficult is it to get a license, choose between mainland and free zone, and manage initial costs? Also, is it still as business-friendly for small startups as it used to be? Any insights on legal requirements, banking, or reliable consultants would be very helpful.
