Common questions about UAE setup pricing.
Will I see the full cost before proceeding?
Yes. Your quote will show the costs applicable to your selected licence, shareholders, workspace and visa requirements before you proceed with the application.
Is the displayed price fixed?
The quote is based on the configuration you select and the authority pricing available at that time. Changing the activity, jurisdiction, shareholders, visas or workspace will update the total. The validity period of the quote is displayed clearly.
Do I need to speak with sales to receive a price?
No. You can use the estimator and view an itemised quote online. Human support is available if you want help comparing options or completing your application.
What is included in the free-zone starting price?
The starting price represents the lowest eligible licence and registration configuration currently available through the platform. Visas, additional activities, shareholders and workspace upgrades will change the total.
What is included in the mainland starting price?
The starting price represents an eligible single-shareholder mainland licence configuration. The exact cost depends on the activity, approvals, legal form, workspace and visa requirements.
Can I pay in instalments?
Payment requirements vary by licensing authority and package. Any available payment schedule will be shown with your quote before you proceed.
Why can mainland setup cost more than free-zone setup?
Mainland companies may require additional approvals, workspace arrangements and activity-specific licensing. The final difference depends on the selected business activity and company structure.
Does the displayed price include residence visas?
Visa costs are included only when residence visas are selected in the estimator. The itemised quote will show the immigration, medical and Emirates ID costs applicable to those applicants.
