Featured Services
Which UAE Jurisdiction is Right for You?
The UAE offers three corporate structures. The right one depends on your business, your goals, and how you plan to operate.
Free Zones
Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, competitive tax conditions, and access to modern infrastructure. Each zone is structured around specific industries, giving businesses a focused environment to operate and grow within the UAE and across international markets.
Mainland
A mainland licence grants full access to the UAE market with no restrictions on trade activity or location. Businesses benefit from unrestricted local and international market access, unlimited visa quotas, and the freedom to establish branches across the country.
Offshore
Offshore structures are designed for businesses whose operations run outside the UAE. They carry minimal regulatory obligations, 100% foreign ownership, and strong asset protection, making them a preferred vehicle for international holding and wealth structuring.
Business Services
Welcome to Momentum your trusted partner for navigating the intricacies of business incorporation in the UAE. In a market saturated with Corporate Service Providers, it can be difficult to identify the right partner for your business journey.
