Offshore business setup in Dubai is just one option. You can setting up a legal entity in the UAE mainland to serve this market, company formation in one of the many free zones (e.g., DMCC for trade, DIFC for financial services, Dubai Silicon Oasis for IT, Ajman for reduced licensing costs and a quick start), or registering as a sole proprietor (professional license) to provide services.

We recommend the type of new business license: trade, professional, online business license, as well as specialized solutions for fintech and crypto projects.
