Ezeebiz was founded in 2019 by Rachana Buttan, an entrepreneur who scaled a four-person startup into a 5,000-person multinational before advising others on how to build in the UAE. That history shapes how we work. We structure companies the way an owner would: for banking outcomes, for compliance durability, and for the growth plan behind the licence.
Our team has supported Fortune 500 companies, startups, and government clients across the USA, UK, Germany, India, China, and the GCC. Every client works with one senior advisor from first consultation to full operation, supported by relationships with UAE authorities and banks built over 14 years of direct institutional engagement.
Anyone can register a company. We build structures that founders, families, and enterprises still rely on a decade later. That is the work I care about.

Testimonials
The transparency was the difference. Costs, timelines, requirements: everything mapped out upfront, then delivered on without surprises.
We've worked with formation agencies in three jurisdictions. Ezeebiz is the only one that treated our setup as a long-term relationship, not a transaction.

Free zone setups typically cost AED 15,000 to 50,000 or more for the first year. Mainland setups run AED 25,000 to 80,000 or more. The exact figure depends on your activity, visa count, and workspace. You receive a complete fixed cost schedule before you commit. Ask River for a cost breakdown in seconds.
Most clients are fully operational within 12 to 14 days, and initial approvals often come through within 48 hours. The speed comes from sequencing: licence, visas, and banking run as one coordinated process rather than three separate queues, so no stage waits on paperwork that could have started earlier.
A free zone suits international or remote business and offers 100 percent ownership with simple administration. Mainland suits trade inside the UAE and government tenders. The right answer follows your banking requirements and your three-year plan, not the other way round. Book a call with Rachana to settle it in one session.
Yes. Since the 2021 reforms, foreigners can own 100 percent of a UAE company in most sectors and in every free zone. More than 1,000 mainland activities allow full foreign ownership. The structure you choose still affects how banks assess the company, so ownership and banking should be planned together.
The main routes are investment, entrepreneurship, and specialised talent, each with its own thresholds. Company formation can be structured from the start to support your eligibility, for example through qualifying ownership or salary arrangements. We assess your position during the first consultation and plan the application alongside your setup.
Achievable in 2 to 6 weeks with the right licence type, substance, and documentation. Banks assess your activity, structure, and paperwork quality before anything else. We sequence banking from day one, prepare the file to each bank's standards, and present your company to institutions whose risk appetite fits your profile.
