Are the mainland companies quotas paid just as a one time or annually ?

[@connectgroupuae]

Hello! Quota is paid only when requested, this means that if you request for a quota of 10 and they approve 5, for example, once you finish the 5 and you need to request more, you will pay again! ☺️

[@relaxandlivelife7093]

@@connectgroupuae I mean when it’s approved, is it a one time fee or annually ?

[@connectgroupuae]

@@relaxandlivelife7093 Every time that you submit a quota, you pay for it. Hence if you apply 4 times a year, it will be 4 times :)

What if I'm doing social media & marketing, do you recommend mainland or free zone?

[@connectgroupuae]

Hello and thanks for your query! It will definetely depend on where your clientele is based for VAT, COI and compliance purposes. Both options are adequate, but we recommend you to speak with a consultant than can assess your and your business situation! We would love to give more information, but with the information given is all we can say!

Hello, What type of license is required to set up a digital marketing agency and setting up companies' taxes in UAE?

[@connectgroupuae]

Hello Arulpr49! Thanks for your query. If we are talking about Dubai mainland, for example, the following activities are the ones to choose from: Cyber Risk Management Services, Cyber Security Architecture, Auditing, Reviewing &Testing Cyber Risks, Cyber Security Consultancy and Data Management & Cyber Security Services. However, please note that each activity has a different aim/scope and it will be needed to understand your business in order to get the right license.

[@connectgroupuae]

Hello, there are diferent options, locations and activities to setup digital marketing agencies in the UAE. One of the acitvities would be Marketing Management, but kindly note that that activity does not apply for running promotions in Social media for clients, as there is a special license for it. In reference to setting up taxes in the UAE, if I understand correctly you meant to register companies i.e. VAT, COI? If this is the case, a Tax Consultancy (to provide only consultancy) or Taxation Procedures Follow-up license might be required. Plesae note that both licenses are regulated and reguire Departments approvals. If you wish you set it up, please free to contact us in the link below!

Hi. How about a software as service company where no office required however all clients will be in UAE? Will be it in mainland or Free zone?

[@connectgroupuae]

It depends of whether the clients are of your entity are in mainland or in Free Zone :). It is not valid to see that clients are in UAE as UAE is splitted in 7 emirates and in more than 40 free zones, hence this is the analysis :)

My tech startup, registered as a corporation in the United States, is looking to expand by establishing a branch in Dubai and hiring a few employees as we grow. Is there a required time period for the parent company to be active before opening a branch in Dubai? Additionally, should I consider setting up in a free zone or on the mainland? I intend to keep the startup incorporated in the United States, as we plan to start seed raising in the future.

[@connectgroupuae]

Hi there! Thanks for your query. There is not a minimum period for the parent company to be setup in the third country. Bear in mind though, that you will need all the company documents attested in the US before being able to incorporate your branch in the UAE. In regards to the second question, it will be depending you want to do and where your customers are based. Feel free to book a meeting with us to help you with your branch opening! 😊

Hello, really love your content! need to ask, what the best license for e-portal / marketplace / e-commerce like NOON where the business can accept order and send product to all UAE customers. I already send mssg to your website :D thank

[@connectgroupuae]

Hello! So there are different license but it will really depends what you are really looking for. For example, a portal license would be to list third party vendors and to connect them with customers. Separately, you can setup an e-commerce license to sell your products to third parties. The names of those activities will vary depending of the area or zone where you are looking to setup. Let me know if you require any further assistance!
