Why set up with NEXTLVLYou always know where your company formation stands.
German roots, an office in the Meydan Grandstand. We coordinate each step with the free zone and explain why every one of them is needed.
Fixed package prices
Silver, Gold or VIP: every package has a fixed price and a clear list of what is included. You know what you get before anything starts.
One dedicated contact
From the first call to your Emirates ID, you deal with the same person. When the free zone or the visa office comes back with a question, it reaches someone who already knows your file.
A structured process
Each step depends on the one before. No registration without an approved name, no establishment card without a licence. For every step you receive a separate document checklist.
Possible from abroad
Name approval, documents and registration are all handled digitally and can be prepared from Germany or elsewhere. You only need to travel to Dubai when the medical fitness test and biometrics for the residence visa are due.
Seven steps to a fully set up company
You do not need a residence visa to form the company itself. The visa can be added later, whenever it suits you.

Frequently asked questions
How does company formation in Dubai work?
After a free initial consultation, we check the company name and agree the business activity and licence type. You send us your documents digitally, we review them and handle the free zone registration. The trade licence is then issued, followed by a residence visa and Emirates ID if you want them.
How long does company formation take?
That depends on the business activity, the licence type and whether your documents are complete. For selected business activities and with complete documents, the trade licence can be issued in around 60 minutes. You get a realistic timeline for your case after the initial consultation.
Which documents do I need?
The starting point is a passport copy for each shareholder. Further documents may be needed depending on the business activity and the visa. We give you a complete list before anything begins.
Do you handle the whole process?
Yes. One dedicated contact stays with you from the initial consultation through the trade licence to your Emirates ID. If you wish, we then take care of the website and online visibility for your new company.
Does NEXTLVL help with opening a bank account?
Yes, depending on the package. Silver and Gold include guidance on opening a bank account: which documents the bank expects and how the process works. In the VIP package we support you in opening your business account and open your personal account with you. The decision on opening the account rests with the bank.
Do I need a residence visa to set up a company?
No. A residence visa is not required for the company formation itself. A visa makes sense if you want to live in Dubai or spend time there regularly. We look at whether that applies to you in the initial consultation.
