Arakan Scout · Planning your UAE setup
Tell it about your business and get a written recommendation: which free zone or mainland licence suits you, why, and what it is likely to cost.
For: Founders and setup advisers choosing where to incorporate
No card needed. One account works across every Arakan app.
What Scout does
Your activities, where your customers are, how many visas you need, your budget and your timeline.
Routes compared on the same facts: packages, visas, office rules, renewal and the activities each licence allows.
The route that fits, why it fits, the alternatives you could take instead, and the likely cost of each.
When an activity needs a regulator's licence, such as DFSA, FSRA, VARA or the Central Bank, Scout says so and shows the route.
Zone and mainland facts come from Atlas, with the date each was checked. A missing figure is shown as missing, never guessed.
Advisers keep each client's setup as a case: brief, intake, analysis and report in one place.

Free zones and mainland are checked against your answers.
