myHQ has expanded to Dubai with a guided business-setup service for entrepreneurs, professionals and companies building in the UAE. The launch brings decisions that often feel disconnected – jurisdiction, business activity, licensing, registration, visas and banking into one assisted journey.
myHQ’s Dubai team guides founders through every major setup decision. Founders receive guidance on the right jurisdiction, licence and company structure, with support continuing through registration, visas and banking.
From finding offices to enabling businesses
myHQ began in Delhi in 2017 with the aim of making business infrastructure easier to access. It has since worked with more than 10,000 corporate clients, delivered over 100,000 seats and built a network of more than 5,000 verified properties across five million square feet.
Working closely with founders and companies has also shown that expansion rarely begins with an office alone. Before choosing a workplace in a new country, a business may need the right legal structure, trade licence, residency route and bank account. The Dubai launch extends myHQ’s assisted approach to those earlier decisions.
Why Dubai?
Dubai gives founders access to the UAE market while placing them within easy reach of the wider GCC, Asia, Africa and Europe. Its business landscape also offers several ways to enter: more than 40 free-zone options, a mainland structure for companies trading directly across the UAE, and offshore structures for eligible holding and international activities.
That choice is useful, but it can also make setup confusing. A low-cost free zone may suit a consultant working with international clients, but not a retailer that needs mainland access. A founder seeking a residence visa has different requirements from someone registering a company to invoice overseas customers remotely.
The right setup therefore begins with the business model, not the cheapest advertised package.
Built around three Dubai journeys
Start in Dubai
For first-time founders, freelancers, consultants, digital businesses and early-stage companies. myHQ helps identify the relevant activity and license, compare suitable free zones and complete the registration process without paying for a structure the business does not yet need.
Level up in Dubai
For Indian SMEs, established companies and growing teams entering the UAE or using Dubai as a regional base. The focus may include mainland access, additional visas, a physical office, local hiring, import-export permissions or a jurisdiction suited to finance, technology, trading or logistics.
Move to Dubai
For founders and professionals relocating themselves or their families. Alongside company formation, the journey may include an investor or partner visa, medical examination, Emirates ID, dependent sponsorship and support with opening a UAE bank account.
These are not fixed boxes. A founder may start remotely, relocate later and eventually hire a local team. The structure should be able to support that next step.
What myHQ is bringing to Dubai
The myHQ Dubai platform currently offers free-zone, mainland and offshore setup routes, with packages starting from AED 12,900. For straightforward cases, licence setup can be completed in as little as five days, while timelines vary for regulated activities and external approvals.
Support covers business-activity mapping, jurisdiction and licence selection, trade-name reservation, documentation, registration and licence issuance. Where required, the team also assists with establishment cards, visas, Emirates ID and corporate bank-account applications. For Indian founders, the process can include guidance around document apostille and India-to-UAE compliance requirements.
The service is designed to replace scattered advice with one accountable point of contact. myHQ’s Dubai page reports more than 2,000 company registrations and offers a free initial consultation before a founder commits to a package.
The next chapter for myHQ
Dubai broadens what myHQ can help a business do. The company is no longer supporting only the place where a team works; it is also helping create the structure that allows the business to begin operating.
For founders, the promise is straightforward: understand the options, choose a setup that fits the real plan and receive support from the first consultation through registration and the steps that follow.
For myHQ, Dubai is the next step towards becoming a practical business partner wherever Indian companies choose to build.
