Business registration · Company setup
Your company abroad, set up right from day one.
Structure, documents, registration and a business bank account. Handled by WeRelocate's company-formation team at West International Consulting.
- Structure advice first
- Filing and registration handled
- Bank account support
What we do
From structure to bank account
Choose the right structure
LLC, GmbH, sole trader or free zone entity. Every jurisdiction has different rules, and the wrong structure is costly to fix later.
Prepare and file documents
Articles of association, identity documents, registered address and shareholder agreements, in the format each authority asks for.
Licences and registration
Trade licence, commercial register entry, tax registration and social security, depending on country, industry and entity type.
Business bank account
Banks ask for proof of registration, a business plan and director checks. We prepare these with you.
Common structures
We advise which one fits your business, tax situation and market.

Before you book
Can I set up a company in the UAE as a foreigner?
Yes. Free zone entities are open to foreign owners, and since recent reforms most mainland activities are too. We advise which structure fits your business model.
What is the difference between a free zone and a mainland company in the UAE?
Free zone companies can trade internationally and within their free zone, but need a local distributor or agent to trade directly on the UAE mainland. Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE. The right choice depends on your market and activities.
How long does company registration take?
It depends on the jurisdiction and entity type. A UAE free zone setup is usually quicker than a German GmbH, which needs a notary and the commercial register. You get a timeline for your case before you start.
Do I need to be physically present to register?
Often not: many registrations can be handled remotely with notarised or apostilled documents. We confirm the requirements for your jurisdiction.
