Forex Trading Company Setup
Set up a regulated forex trading company in the UAE from the UK with clear guidance on regulator selection, licensing, capital requirements, documentation, banking, and ongoing compliance.
Service Overview
A forex trading company is one of the more regulated structures a UK firm can set up in the UAE.
It sits under financial services rules, not general trade rules, which means a specific licence, a specific regulator, capital requirements, and approved individuals in key roles.
But not every free zone can licence it.
Forex and financial brokerage activity is handled by dedicated financial regulators, and the framework you choose shapes your capital, your compliance load, and which clients you can serve. Treating it like an ordinary trade licence is where applications fail.
At Gatestone Group, we help make the process clearer and easier to manage. From choosing the right regulator to preparing documents, arranging the licence, coordinating with banks, and guiding you through each step, our team supports you throughout the setup process.

Our Forex Trading Setup Process
We start by understanding your business model, your target clients, your capital position, and how you intend to operate. This helps us identify which regulator and which licence category actually fit your business.
We guide you on the jurisdiction, the licence category, the capital requirement, and the approved roles your framework will need. The goal is to build for the regulator that fits your model, not the cheapest licence available.
Our team helps you prepare and organise the documents the regulator requires. This may include a business plan, financial model, compliance manuals, shareholder and director documents, attested corporate documents, and evidence for approved individuals.
Once the file is ready, we coordinate the regulatory application, follow up on approvals, and support corporate banking, visas, and tax registration. We then guide you on the ongoing compliance and reporting your licence requires.
