Company formation starts with the right questions. From our business center in Corniche Deira, explore business setup in Dubai, understand the paperwork and choose a workspace that supports your plans.
Let’s talk
Your business activity shapes the licence, approvals and premises you may need. Your customers, team and plans for growth matter too.
Talk through your proposed business with Orion Star before committing to a setup route. We help you organise the questions and next steps, with workspace options available at our own Deira business center.
For entrepreneurs comparing business setup in Deira, mainland company formation in Dubai or free zone options, the right starting point is your activity and operating model. We can discuss workspace, trade licence planning and ongoing PRO support together, while keeping the relevant authority’s requirements in view.

Discuss your business setupThis is a starting checklist, not an authority-specific document list. Additional documents, attestations or translations may be required.
Licensing and registration. Premises and workspace. Visas and authority charges. External approvals, where applicable. Professional service fees.
Ask for these items to be separated in your proposal, including what is payable now and what recurs at renewal. Company setup pricing is provided after a review of your requirements.

Ask us a questionIt depends on the activity you intend to carry out, where and how you will operate, your premises requirements and the relevant licensing authority. We start with those questions rather than recommending the same structure to everyone.
There is no single fee that fits every company. Your quote may include trade name and licensing charges, registration, premises or workspace, visas, any external approvals and service fees. Ask for an itemised proposal before proceeding.
Possibly, but not for every activity or authority. Confirm the premises rules for your proposed licence before selecting a workspace package. A package alone does not guarantee licence or visa eligibility.
Start with passport copies for the proposed owners, contact details, your intended activity and proposed trade names. Existing UAE visa or Emirates ID details and corporate documents may also be required, depending on your profile and the jurisdiction.
Timing depends on the authority, business activity, document readiness, external approvals and applicant checks. We discuss an indicative process after reviewing your case; final approvals remain with the authorities.
Not always. Requirements vary by activity, jurisdiction and team plans. We can discuss private offices, flexi desks and address packages, subject to acceptance by the relevant authority.
Yes. Start with a conversation at our Waterfront Market business center in Corniche Deira. We can discuss the proposed activity, mainland or free zone route, workspace options and required next steps. The relevant licensing authority determines the final requirements and approvals.
