How it works

Three steps. You see every price before you agree, and you only pay for an offer you accept.

Step 1
Describe it, free
Say what you need in a sentence or two. Posting costs nothing.
Step 2
Get offers from people who’ve done it
Taskers who have done this before send an offer with their own price. Ask questions, then pick one.
Step 3
Pay, and it’s held until done
Accept an offer and pay. Taskly holds the payment until you say the work is done.

Good questions

The things people ask before they post in Dubai and the UAE.

01
What does company set-up, tax and bookkeeping help cost in Dubai and the UAE?
Most of it falls between AED 400–2,500, depending on how much you need. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.
02
What should we share before a free zone comparison?
A short description of your services, who your clients are and where they're based, how many shareholders there will be, and whether you need a physical office or a flexi-desk.
03
In what order do Dubai café approvals usually happen?
Typically the trade name and initial approval first, then the lease and Ejari, then fit-out drawings and municipality food approvals, then the licence is issued. Confirm the unit's permitted use covers food before committing.
04
When does an individual in the UAE fall under corporate tax?
Generally when turnover from business activity, such as freelancing or a sole establishment, exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. Salary, personal investment income and personal real estate income are usually outside this.
05
How does paying work?
Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.
06
Who are the Taskers?
People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
07
What can’t a Tasker do here?
Taskers help you prepare and understand. You file from your own account; nobody on Taskly represents you to a tax authority.
