ICONS Business Setup

About ICONS Business Setup

Based in the Business Bay district of Dubai, this consultancy helps entrepreneurs, small companies and incoming investors establish a commercial presence in the UAE. It states more than ten years of experience, though no founding year is given. The core offer is licensing and registration for mainland LLCs, free zone entities and international holding structures, supported by local sponsor arrangements where a mainland licence requires one. Around that sit visa and residency work, including investor, employment, family and Golden Visa files, plus corporate bank account introductions and office space arrangements. Tax and accounting support is part of the portfolio, with a dedicated page on VAT registration and returns and a mention of the UAE corporate tax regime. The website is published in English only and does not name any team members, languages spoken or professional licences. Published package prices make it easy for newcomers to compare budgets before contacting the firm.
