Set Up Costs In The UAE
What Affects UAE Business Setup Costs
-
Your license type is one of the biggest factors in cost. Free zone licenses are often more affordable and offer 100% ownership, while mainland licenses provide greater flexibility for doing business across the UAE.
Type of License (Mainland vs Free Zone) -
The more visas your company needs, the higher the overall setup cost. Each visa comes with associated government fees, so your staffing plans directly impact your budget.
Number of Visas Required -
Whether you choose a flexi desk, private office, or no office at all will affect your costs. Free zones often provide flexible workspace packages, while mainland setups may require a physical office.
Office Requirements -
Costs can also vary depending on the number of shareholders and whether they are individuals or corporate entities. More shareholders usually mean more paperwork and higher fees.

MS.NANDANI & MR.SHAHAB are true professionals Hats Off Pascal Gautier2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to sincerely thank all the team and Faraz Ehmer (- Banking Manager ) for their outstanding support. Always available, responsive, and clear in their explanations, they provided precise answers to all my questions, even the most complex ones, and guided me toward the best solutions for my situation. Their patience and professionalism allowed me to move forward with complete peace of mind. I highly recommend their guidance, which combines attentive listening, expertise, and efficiency ! Oleg Efrem2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company with great people, helped me set up my business and business and personal bank accounts. Special kudos to Raj (Vishwaraj Singh Solanki) - got the bank accounts and debit cards sorted in 1 week. Highly recommend it. Above was after a month with dealing with the company - it was 5 starts. Bellow is the review after 2 years... 1 start and i would give less if i could. I had business setup, accounting and business closure services for which i paid all together around 20k USD. After 1 month the good experience ended. First i got 3 months delayed in possibility to operate the business, this is 3 months of lost revenue. Then i closed my business and it dragged on for 4 months so i had to pay numerous fines. Then it turned out they did not submit my corporate tax returns for the last year when company was closed, so i kept getting fines. They'd ignore my requests to rectify the problem and i'm about to go into the 3rd month and 3rd fine for this. Think twice before starting a business with these guys... Antonio Fournier2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After an AI deep search I decided to contact this company. I found a team of smart women answering all the questions without commercial catchy hard selling lines. Simply Professional, factual and to the point. Rabiga convinced me and everything afterwards was exactly as she said. You will be surprised of how easy is the whole process of establishing a company and getting all necessary documents and permits with them. And the follow-up they offer afterwards. I had the opportunity to meet the Founder at the end: I understood that behind this great team there is hard working selfmade man devoted to service and client satisfaction. Congratulations. Clémence Guinamard2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sabina and Gaurav are the best! I never had my licence and ID renewed so fast. They were really helpful in the whole process, making sure I would get the best set up for my company, and all of this stress free for me!
