Educational company in the IFZA Free Zone

The client planned to launch a UAE-based educational company offering online programmes to students in different countries.

The structure had to provide full control over the business, a UAE residence visa, lower administrative and tax risks, and access to a corporate bank account.

1. Jurisdiction selection — selected the IFZA Free Zone, which permits 100% foreign ownership and remote company registration.
2. Company registration — approved the company name, business activities and licence type, then prepared and submitted the incorporation documents.
3. Residence formalities — prepared the documents and supported the owner through the residence visa process.
4. Bank account opening — selected a suitable bank and prepared the business plan and full compliance package.

The client received a registered educational company, a UAE residence visa and a fully operational corporate bank account. The account was opened within 14 days. The structure can accept payments from students and international partners and supports the future expansion of the educational programmes.
