Vostok Consult helps founders and investors set up and run companies in Dubai and across the UAE. Being independent means we recommend the structure that fits you, not whichever pays the biggest referral.
Anthony Manson works with each client directly, from the first call through licensing, banking, visas and beyond. Clients come from the UK, Europe and further afield, and you deal with the same person the whole way through.
Anthony brings a background most setup advisors simply do not have: a chartered-discipline quantity surveyor by training, an active UK and UAE property investor, and a specialist off-plan real estate consultant. He made the move to Dubai himself, so UK founders get a peer who has been through the same relocation, tax and banking questions first hand.
That property and cost background matters when the numbers matter. For real estate, development, construction and investment setups in particular, you are advised by someone who reads a payment plan, a fit-out budget and a compliance requirement the way a surveyor does, not just someone selling a licence.
Pick your route, visas and licence term for an instant estimate. Commit to multiple years and the licence is around 15% cheaper.
Headlines pulled automatically so the page stays current between conversations.
Practical reads on setup, visas, banking and tax, written to save you the guesswork.
Straight answers on timing, cost, ownership and tax. Anything specific to you, we cover on the free call.
Most trade licences are issued in about 2–8 working days once your documents are ready. Visas and the corporate bank account follow, and we handle each stage with you.
Yes. Free zones allow full foreign ownership, and 100% ownership is now available on most mainland activities too. We confirm the exact position for your activity.
Much of the process is handled remotely. Usually one short visit covers your Emirates ID biometrics and medical, plus account opening for some banks. We tell you exactly what needs you in person.
It depends on the route (free zone, mainland or offshore), the number of visas and any add-ons. Use the calculator above for an indicative figure; we confirm exact, all-in pricing on a free call.
The UAE has 0% personal income tax and a competitive 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000, with VAT at 5%. We handle registration and keep you compliant.
Yes. We prepare the application properly and match you to banks that suit your activity and structure, so it gets approved rather than bounced.
Regulated professions usually cannot use the standard free-zone shortcut. They typically need a mainland licence, a physical office, a locally registered technical manager, sector approvals (for example the Dubai Municipality engineers register and Society of Engineers UAE for engineering, or the DHA for healthcare) and professional indemnity insurance. Our calculator flags the exact requirements for your activity, and Anthony advises on foreign-qualification recognition so you set up the practice correctly the first time.
