We did UAE setup the old way. Then we rebuilt it.
Zola has been forming and running UAE companies since 2014. Everything we learned doing it the traditional way now runs as a platform.
Our story
Our story
Since 2014, we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs, families, and companies set up in the UAE. Being more than a decade in this business, we’ve built partnerships with the banks, free zones, and government institutions our clients’ companies run on, and those relationships are a large part of why our service held the standard it did. The rest came from principles we’ve never negotiated on: truth, professionalism, and candour. For that standard, we always charged a significant premium.
Years into the practice, we asked ourselves a question. Is it possible to provide the services we provided through technology? It turned out we could, and do so significantly better. Streamlining the process into a digital experience has allowed us to open up access to what we once charged a premium for.
Our ambition is to be the standard for corporate services in the UAE, and beyond.

What we stand for
Four principles run through everything we build.
Truth
The exact price, the realistic timeline, and an honest account of what we can and cannot do. When an answer is uncertain, we say that too. Nothing about your own company should ever be a surprise to you.

Proof
Every cost, document, and deadline lives in your portal where you can check it yourself. We would rather show you than ask you to believe us.

Access
Setting up should not depend on who you know or what you can pay for advice. We built Zola so anyone, anywhere, can do this properly. Ambition should not carry a tax.

Reverence
A company’s formation is a birth: of a business, and of someone’s identity as its founder. Being trusted with that moment is an honour. We handle it with the seriousness it deserves.
