Dubai business setup — done right, in 14 days.
Most founders arrive at YABS after being quoted “from AED 4,999” somewhere else, then hit with AED 8,000 in “extras” two weeks in. We fixed that. One fixed fee, one 14-day timeline, one senior partner from your first call to your corporate bank account — or we refund 20% of our fee.
- Fixed all-in fee, written quote day 1
- 94% corporate bank approval rate
- Same partner from day 1 to year 5
- 20% refund if we miss the deadline
Dubai business setup shouldn’t feel like a trap.
After 500+ setups, we’ve seen every version of what goes wrong. Here’s what we built YABS to fix.
“Why is the final invoice AED 8k higher than the quote?”
That’s the “starts from” trick. Our fee includes government costs, MoA, 1 visa eligibility, Emirates ID, and bank intro — itemised before you pay a dirham.
“My license took 6 weeks and I still don’t have a bank account.”
Most firms hand you the license and vanish. We don’t bill the final tranche until Emirates NBD, Mashreq or WIO has approved your corporate account.
“Every time I call I get a different junior on WhatsApp.”
Your senior partner’s mobile is on your quote. Same person handles your license, visa, bank, and year 2 accounting renewal.
“They picked the wrong free zone and I had to liquidate.”
We don’t push the free zone that pays us the highest commission. We map activity codes to your actual revenue model — then name the zone that fits.
Everything from activity code to corporate bank account — one team, one invoice.
No sub-contractors, no “that’s not our department”, no surprise government fees. Every service below is delivered by a YABS partner with fixed pricing in writing.

“Three other consultants quoted me ‘around AED 12k’ for my RAKEZ setup. YABS was the only one who wrote a fixed number and stuck to it. License in 9 days, Mashreq account in 13. No post-invoice drama.”
“We moved our e-com arm from the UK and needed a mainland LLC for VAT-registered UAE sales. YABS mapped the right DED activity, flagged a tenancy issue I would’ve missed, and had everything live in 18 days including the WIO account.”
“Got rejected by two banks before YABS took over our KYC. They rewrote it to match Emirates NBD’s actual internal policy, and we were approved in one meeting. That alone paid for the whole setup ten times over.”
The only Dubai setup firm that publishes its numbers.
Every firm claims “fast, reliable, transparent.” We publish the receipts, audited internally every quarter.
Other firms put “integrity” on their wall. We put it in your contract.
Every consultant in Dubai claims “fast, transparent, reliable.” Here are four commitments we actually sign, with penalties if we miss.

94% corporate bank approval — or we re-route free.
Most bank rejections come from generic KYC templates. We write yours to each bank’s actual internal risk policy — which is why Emirates NBD, Mashreq, WIO, RAKBank, and ADCB clear YABS files 9 times out of 10.
