Offshore banking

Why bank in Dubai?

Dubai is an established international banking hub. The UAE has no personal income tax, and free zone companies that meet the qualifying conditions can benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income. A Dubai account also gives your business a stable, well-regarded base with access to international payments, multiple currencies and global markets across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and beyond, making it easier to work with clients and partners around the world. This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Eligibility depends on your structure and activities, and we will advise you on what applies to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most before they get in touch.

How is pricing worked out?

Our packages start from £10,000 (Essential) and £20,000 (VIP). The final price depends on your structure — mainland or free zone, banking needs and any extra support — so we confirm it in a clear written quote. Package prices include the government fees for your package, and your quote lists our consultancy fee and the government fees as separate items. Government fees are paid to the relevant authority.

How long does the process take?

It depends on the package: Essential runs at an average of 25 days, while VIP clients, with priority handling by our team, average 14 days. Timelines can vary with processing times set by the relevant authority, which are outside our control.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

You’re assigned a dedicated consultant as your single point of contact, who reviews your enquiry and reaches out directly to talk through your options — no call centre, no being passed between agents.

Are you a government body or government-authorised?

No. The Core Network is an independent private consultancy operated by Gencore Global Consultancy – FZCO. We are not a government body and are not affiliated with any UAE government authority. We prepare and submit applications on your behalf. The relevant authority decides whether to approve them and issues any licence.

Can you set up both mainland and free zone companies?

Yes — we work across both, and help you decide which structure suits your business before anything is filed.
