Disclaimer

SetupHero is a privately owned and operated company. We are not a government agency, government department, regulatory authority, or official representative of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Government or any of its Emirates.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting on behalf of any UAE government authority unless expressly stated otherwise.

References on this website to government authorities, regulatory bodies, financial institutions, or other organisations are provided solely to explain the processes, requirements, and services associated with establishing and operating a business in the UAE.

These organisations may include, but are not limited to:

• Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) / Department of Economic Development (DED)
• UAE Free Zone Authorities (e.g., DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA, RAK ICC)
• Federal Tax Authority (FTA)
• General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) & ICP
• Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE)
• UAE Central Bank and local financial institutions
• Other government departments, regulators, licensing bodies, and third-party service providers

Their names, trademarks, and logos remain the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion or mention on this website does not imply endorsement, partnership, or government affiliation unless explicitly stated.

SetupHero provides private professional assistance relating to services such as company incorporation, corporate administration, company secretarial services, accounting and tax coordination, business setup, immigration support, banking assistance, and related advisory or administrative services.

Where a regulated, licensed, registered, or third-party professional is required to perform a particular service, that service may be provided or facilitated through appropriately qualified professionals, registered agents, licensed service providers, or other authorised third parties.

SetupHero can assist clients with preparing, coordinating, and submitting applications and documentation; however, all government, regulatory, immigration, licensing, banking, and other third-party approvals remain entirely at the discretion of the relevant authority or institution.

We cannot guarantee:

• Company name approval
• Company incorporation or Free Zone approval
• Business or commercial licence approval
• Residency Visa, Golden Visa, or Emirates ID approval
• Immigration or security clearance approval
• Corporate or personal bank account approval
• Financing or credit approval
• Tax treatment or tax status
• Processing or approval within a specific timeframe

Government authorities, banks, regulators, and other third parties may request additional documentation, conduct additional due diligence, reject an application, or change their requirements at any time.

Any processing times or estimated completion periods shown on this website are estimates based on typical circumstances and previous experience.

Actual processing times may vary depending on government authorities, regulatory agencies, banks, immigration departments, documentation requirements, public holidays, compliance checks, client responsiveness, and other circumstances outside our control.

References such as “48 hours,” “1–2 weeks,” or other estimated timelines should therefore not be interpreted as guarantees.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, fees charged by SetupHero are professional service fees for assisting with and managing the relevant service.

Government filing fees, Free Zone lease fees, licence fees, immigration charges, Emirates ID costs, medical typing fees, banking charges, taxes, duties, deposits, professional fees, courier charges, translation costs, and other third-party expenses may apply separately.

All applicable costs will depend on the jurisdiction (Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore) and the client's individual circumstances.

Information provided through this website, including information relating to company structures, UAE Corporate Tax, residency, immigration, banking, asset protection, or international business, is intended for general informational purposes.

It should not be considered a substitute for personalised:

• Legal advice
• Tax advice
• Accounting advice
• Immigration advice
• Investment advice
• Financial advice

Laws, tax rules, regulations, and government policies may change, and their application can vary depending on individual circumstances.

Clients should obtain advice from suitably qualified professionals before making significant legal, tax, financial, immigration, or investment decisions.

Any tax rates, tax benefits, exemptions (such as UAE Free Zone Qualifying Income exemptions), incentives, or examples mentioned on this website are provided for general informational purposes only.

Eligibility for a particular tax treatment depends on several factors, including the company's activities, management and control, tax residency, economic substance, source of income, applicable legislation, treaties, regulatory requirements, and the individual circumstances of the client.

SetupHero does not guarantee that establishing a particular company structure will result in a specific tax rate or tax outcome.

Where SetupHero provides assistance with opening a corporate or personal bank account in the UAE, our role is limited to assisting with documentation, introductions, preparation, coordination, and the application process where applicable.

The final decision to approve or reject a bank account application is made solely by the relevant financial institution's compliance department.

SetupHero is not a bank and does not control the bank's compliance procedures, eligibility criteria, account-opening timelines, or final decisions.

Where immigration, Residency Visa, Golden Visa, Emirates ID, or work permit assistance is provided, SetupHero may assist with application preparation, documentation, coordination, and submission.

The relevant immigration or governmental authority retains complete discretion over all immigration and security clearance decisions.

No statement on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that a visa, residency permit, Emirates ID, work permit, or other immigration status will be granted.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on this website is accurate and current. However, government procedures, legislation, regulations, tax rules, immigration requirements, banking policies, fees, and eligibility criteria may change without notice.

SetupHero does not warrant that all information on this website will always be complete, accurate, or current.
