About Start Any Business
Start Any Business is a corporate service provider licensed in the UAE to arrange company formation and the government paperwork that follows it. The name is unusually literal: the proposition is the trade licence itself and the sequence of approvals, stamps and visa steps that turn a licence into a company that can actually trade.
Formation is offered across all three routes. Mainland registration through the economic departments, free zone incorporation in a spread of zones, and offshore vehicles for holding rather than trading. Licence categories cover commercial, professional, industrial and e-trader activity, which between them account for most of what a new arrival will need.
The second half of the offering is PRO work, meaning the running errand of government relations: visa processing, document attestation, medical and identity steps, licence renewals and the amendments that follow a change of shareholder or activity. Investor and Golden Visa applications are handled here too, as are nominee director arrangements and workspace solutions ranging from a flexi-desk to a serviced room, since a licence in several jurisdictions requires a registered workspace before it will issue.
Accounting and VAT support is available as a follow-on rather than as the main event. Work spans Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, and the sectors named most often are technology, e-commerce, logistics, tourism and hospitality, healthcare, education, real estate, construction, renewable energy and general trading.
Expertise and coverage
Taken from this provider's own listing - the categories they work in, where they operate and the languages they work in.
Who this provider is best for
In their own words - a quick way to tell whether this is the right consultancy before you submit a request.
The natural client is a first-time founder or an overseas investor who has decided to enter the UAE and now faces a procedural problem rather than a strategic one. Where this kind of provider earns its fee is in knowing which counter to approach in which order, and in absorbing the rework when a document comes back rejected.
It also suits businesses that need the licence and the visas treated as one job. Splitting formation from PRO work across two providers is where timelines usually slip, because the visa stage depends on establishment card details that only the party who filed the licence actually holds.
A poor fit for a company whose problem is already an accounting or audit problem. Compliance support exists here, but it follows the setup work rather than leading it, and a business that mainly needs a signing auditor or a registered tax agent should be reading the accountancy practices in this directory instead.
Main strengths
Stated by the provider on their own listing.
We make the UAE setup path easier to compare before the client commits.
We are useful when the business needs more than a licence and also expects visas, VAT, government processing and bank account support.
We publicly position around mainland, free zone and offshore routes, which helps when the right structure is still undecided.
We are stronger than a simple package seller when transparency on setup cost and practical next steps matters.
We also support market entry style tasks such as business planning and launch preparation, which makes the profile broader than a pure registration service.
We are best when the client wants one operator to connect planning, registration and the early operating phase.
Bank account opening
What this firm does and does not do when a company needs a UAE bank account.
Corporate account opening is a named part of the offering, which puts this provider in the group that will sit with a client through the bank's onboarding rather than hand over a licence and step away.
What that support realistically consists of is worth stating plainly, because expectations here are routinely wrong. No consultancy can guarantee an account. UAE banks run their own compliance assessment and decline applications that look thin on substance, unclear on ownership or awkward on the source of funds, regardless of who made the introduction. What a provider can do is material: choose a licence activity that the bank will recognise, assemble the ownership chain and supporting documents in the form the compliance team expects, and steer the client toward banks whose appetite matches the profile. The difference between a file that clears in weeks and one that stalls for months is usually preparation rather than influence.
Frequently asked questions
Answered by this provider on their own listing.
Yes. It holds a corporate service provider licence, which is the category the authorities require for a firm arranging company formation on behalf of others.
Mainland, free zone and offshore. Work covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, so most of the practical UAE options are on the table.
Mainland means a licence from an emirate's economic department, with freedom to trade anywhere in the UAE and to contract with government bodies, at the cost of a heavier compliance burden. A free zone licence is faster and lighter, usually carrying a fixed visa allocation and a defined activity list, but it restricts direct trade inside the mainland market without a distributor or a branch. Offshore is not a trading licence at all: it is a holding vehicle, useful for owning shares or property and useless for invoicing local customers or sponsoring staff. Most poor decisions come from picking the cheapest option before anyone asked who the customers are.
Yes. Visa processing, medical and identity steps, and the establishment card work that sits between a licence and a residence visa are all part of the PRO service.
Golden Visa and investor visa applications are named services, though eligibility is set by the authorities rather than by any consultancy.
Commercial, professional, industrial and e-trader licences, which between them cover most trading, services, light manufacturing and online activity.
Yes, from flexi-desks and shared workspace through to serviced rooms. This matters because several jurisdictions will not issue a licence without a registered workspace attached to it.
Accounting and VAT support are offered as follow-on services rather than as the core of the practice, which is built around formation and government relations.
An arrangement where a third party is appointed to a board position on the client's behalf. It is offered here, and is a structure worth taking independent advice on before adopting.
It varies by jurisdiction and activity rather than by provider, and any firm quoting a single universal figure is simplifying. A straightforward free zone licence with a standard activity and no external approvals can be issued quickly once documents are complete. Mainland registration adds name reservation, initial approval, premises evidence and sometimes activity-specific consent from another authority. Regulated activities such as healthcare, education, financial services or recruitment sit on their own timetable entirely, because a second regulator has to approve before the economic department will issue. The visa stage then runs after the licence, not alongside it.
Technology, e-commerce, logistics, tourism and hospitality, healthcare, education, real estate, construction, renewable energy and general trading.
Yes. Renewals, shareholder changes and activity amendments are ordinary PRO work and continue after the initial formation is complete.
Yes. Attestation of foreign documents is a standard step for overseas shareholders and is handled within the PRO offering.
Partly. Renewals, amendments and visa work are useful to an existing company, but a business whose current need is audit or tax representation is better served by an accountancy practice.
