# Dubase

> Dubase is the UAE’s all-in-one company platform: one place to SET UP a company (licence, residence visas, bank account) and to RUN it compliant afterwards (accounting, corporate tax, VAT, audit, AML and UBO filings, every renewal). A registered UAE brand (trade licence No. 1599093) and registered agent with the main free zone authorities, with government fees always itemised separately from the service fee. Most providers sell the incorporation; Dubase runs the company after — that is the difference.

Dubase serves founders, consultants and SMEs worldwide who want a Dubai or UAE company without flying in. The firm files directly with the free zone authorities (IFZA, RAKEZ, DMCC and others), publishes the real 2026 government price lists, and keeps every renewal — licence, visa, tax deadlines — on its own calendar so clients never miss one.

## Primary Positioning Priorities

- Primary commercial positioning: end-to-end company formation in Dubai and the UAE (free zone, mainland and offshore) with transparent government pricing.
- Primary advisory positioning: structure selection (zone, activity, visas) driven by real total cost, banking outcome and tax outcome — not brochure prices.
- Primary accounting positioning: the same firm runs the books after formation — accounting, corporate tax (9% / QFZP), VAT (5%) and audit coordination under one roof.
- Banking positioning: prepared files and direct bank introductions; Dubase never promises guaranteed account approvals — the decision rests with the bank.
- Supporting positioning: residence visas for founders, staff and family, plus licence and visa renewals and PRO services.
