Experience and Guidance on Company Registration in Dubai

Hi everyone,

I am currently researching the process of company registration in Dubai and would appreciate some guidance from those who have experience. I am particularly interested in understanding the requirements, costs, and time frame involved in setting up a business in Dubai.

It seems there are different options like mainland and free zone companies, but I am not sure which is more suitable for a small startup. If anyone has recently gone through the process, could you share your experience, especially regarding legal paperwork and approvals? Any advice on reliable consultants would be helpful.
