IFZA Certificate of Appreciation 2026
In 2026, IFZA, one of the largest and most renowned free zones in Dubai, awarded us its Certificate of Appreciation. The basis was the highest renewal rate across the entire partner network: over 95% of our clients renew their Dubai company year after year.
This figure is our most important proof. It comes not from quick deals but from legally sound structures that work over the long term. As a German-speaking corporate law firm in Dubai, we support entrepreneurs from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, from company formation through tax matters to ongoing support. Those who set up with us, stay. That is exactly what this award confirms.
IFZA Gold Partner 2024
Back in 2024, Danho und Partner was appointed IFZA Gold Partner. This status is based on continuous cooperation with IFZA and the successful completion of numerous company formations in Dubai.
As a Gold Partner, we work closely with one of the leading free zone authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This gives our clients security: short routes to the authorities, reliable processes and a legally sound basis for every structure we set up for entrepreneurs from the DACH region.

After over 1,000 successful company formations, we know exactly what to expect — and how we can safely guide you through this process.

What you Expect with Danho und Partner
German business law firm instead of lifestyle influencers and emigration agencies.
Danho und Partner offers you a one-stop solution for setting up in the Emirates. For you, that means:
Everything from a single source
From the initial idea to tax advice and investment opportunities — you get an all-round service without having to search for additional service providers yourself.
Legally clean and
transparently
Clear processes, transparent costs and no risk. We are a true business law firm and know exactly what is important when it comes to law and taxes in Dubai.
Long-term support
Our German-speaking team will be with you permanently. We take care of ongoing bookkeeping and all tax issues so that you can concentrate on your core business.
Do we bring it to the Period.
Most agencies only focus on setting up a company and then leave you alone. This is where Danho und Partner makes the difference. We know that the right course must be set before the company is founded and that it only really starts after the company is founded. Anyone who does not address tax and legal issues professionally from the outset risks expensive fines and sleepless nights. Our boutique service covers everything — before and after founding.
The basis for your success:
Use our experience to avoid expensive mistakes
01 Tax preparation in Germany
“Anyone who makes mistakes when preparing tax in Germany risks back payments and legal problems. We ensure a clean transition period — so that you meet your German obligations correctly and avoid financial risks. ”
02 Setting up a company in Dubai
“From registration to visas and bank account opening to official documents — we coordinate everything for you. You gain time while we remove potential stumbling blocks for you. ”
03 Long-term accounting and tax solutions
“Our German-speaking team ensures that your ongoing bookkeeping is always up-to-date and that all tax guidelines are complied with — because even in Dubai, there is an accounting obligation with a corresponding tax return. In this way, you avoid unnecessary stress and can fully concentrate on your sales. ”
04 Exclusive investment opportunities
If you already have solid success and clear growth goals, we will give you access to exclusive real estate investments in Dubai. So that you can sustainably increase your wealth.
Who is Hannes Danho
I am an entrepreneur myself — and it is precisely from this perspective that I also work for our clients. I think of every structure, every decision, every strategy as if I were implementing it for my own company. This attitude has shaped our law firm Danho und Partner right from the start. For over six years, we have been supporting German-speaking entrepreneurs in setting up and expanding their businesses in the United Arab Emirates in a tax-optimised manner — with vision, substance and a clear focus on economic efficiency. I myself speak Arabic and know the local conditions in the UAE as well as the tax framework in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is precisely this combination that enables us to develop solutions that not only look good on paper — but also work in practice.
Frequently asked questions
The answers you might need right now to move on
Yes, it is possible in principle, but you should seek tax advice to meet all legal requirements.
In order to ensure long-term cooperation, we pass on the authority's fees to our offer 1:1 and only charge a service fee for our service.
In Dubai, income as a natural person is tax-free. Revenue from a company is taxed at 9%, but taxation only applies to profits and around 100000€ is a tax allowance.
Dubai has always had an accounting obligation, but there was no supervisory body, which it audited. This is now being checked by the FTA (tax office) and there are penalties if it is not complied with. At D&P, we offer accounting services to our customers. We can take a closer look at this in an initial consultation.
As far as the exit tax is concerned, entrepreneurs are usually from Germany. Here, it should be checked whether the corporation triggers the exit tax. We can take a closer look at this in an initial consultation.
Dubai is a hotspot for influencers from all over the world and offers many opportunities. Influencers from Germany in particular should plan to move out of Germany as an unentraveling tax could also apply to them, similar to the exit tax for corporations. We can take a closer look at this in an initial consultation.
Your driving license from the DACH area is valid in Dubai and can also be used officially. However, if you are a resident in Dubai, then your driver's license must be rewritten, this is done quickly by the relevant authority and it is very uncomplicated.
We provide you with international health insurance based on German standards, which you can use worldwide.
Since more and more people just want to live in Dubai without necessarily running a business, you can now apply for a freelance visa that gives you a 2-year stay, which can be easily renewed after expiry.
The company license must be renewed annually, an accounting must be kept and a CT FILLING (corporate income tax return) must be submitted annually. At D&P, we can offer the full range and help here.
