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.
