Business Setup in Dubai, UAE From Moscow

Dubai welcomes Russian investors with open arms—offering 100% ownership, simplified business setup, and a tax-efficient environment in its Free Zones.

As global trade shifts and geopolitical uncertainties persist, many entrepreneurs and business owners in Moscow are seeking a more secure, tax-friendly, and opportunity-rich environment to grow or relocate their businesses. Dubai, UAE, has emerged as a top destination — and for good reason.

Whether you’re a startup founder, importer, IT consultant, or investor based in Moscow, Unicorn Global Solutions helps you seamlessly set up your business in Dubai — with or without physical presence.

Why Moscow-Based Entrepreneurs Are Moving to Dubai

Dubai offers multiple advantages that appeal directly to Russian business owners:

100% foreign ownership in Free Zones
No income or corporate tax in most areas
Quick company registration (3 to 7 business days)
Zero restrictions on capital repatriation
Strategic location connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa
Stable currency (AED pegged to USD)

With growing limitations on international banking and trade for Russian businesses, Dubai offers stability, safety, and unmatched global access.
