What's Included in Every StartZone Package
- Company formation end-to-end — free zone, mainland, or offshore: activity selection, name reservation, and all government filings handled for you.
- Document preparation — Memorandum of Association, application forms, and attestations prepared and submitted on your behalf.
- UAE residence visas — investor/partner and employee visas, including Emirates ID, medical, and stamping coordination.
- Corporate bank account guidance — we prepare the compliance file banks ask for and brief you for the account opening.
- PRO services — renewals, licence amendments, activity additions, notarisation, and labour/immigration filings year-round.
Every package comes with a fixed written quote before you pay anything. Our free zone packages start from AED 12,000, mainland packages from AED 18,000, and offshore setups from AED 18,500.
How It Works: Our 5-Step Process
- Free consultation — tell us your business idea, nationality, and visa needs on WhatsApp (+971 58 597 8602). We reply within 2 hours with zone or emirate options.
- Fixed written quote — one clear price covering licence, documents, and visas. No hidden line items.
- Documents and submission — passport copies and photos are usually all we need; we prepare and file everything.
- Licence issuance — free zone licences in 3–10 working days; mainland licences typically within one to two weeks including Ejari.
- Visas and banking — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, stamping, then corporate account opening support.
Document Checklist
- Passport copies (valid 6+ months) for shareholders and the manager
- Passport-size photos with white background
- Proposed company name and business activities
- UAE residence visa copy or entry stamp, if already in the country
- CV or business profile for regulated activities (consultancy, fintech, healthcare)
That is the complete list for most founders — if your case needs attestation, an NOC, or a regulatory approval, we flag it before any payment.
Realistic Timelines
Consultation and quote: same day. Document preparation: 1–2 working days. Free zone licence: 3–10 working days. Mainland licence: typically 1–2 weeks including Ejari. Investor visa cycle: 1–3 weeks. Corporate bank account: 1–4 weeks depending on the bank. Most clients are fully operational — licensed, visa stamped, and banking ready — within about a month.
Our Setup Process, Step by Step
Every engagement follows the same six steps, so you always know what happens next and who is handling it:
- Free consultation — we confirm your activity, recommend the right jurisdiction, and send a fixed written quote, usually the same day you message us.
- Document collection — passport copies and photographs by WhatsApp or email; most clients complete this in a day.
- Application filing — we submit to the free zone or DED, reserve your trade name, and track approvals on your behalf.
- Licence issuance — a free zone licence issues in 3–10 working days; mainland licences typically take one to two weeks including Ejari.
- Visa processing — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and stamping, normally completed within 1–3 weeks.
- Bank account opening — we prepare your compliance file and brief you for the bank meeting; approvals typically land in 1–4 weeks depending on the bank.
Your dedicated consultant updates you at every step — no ticket queues, no hand-offs.
Documents Checklist: What to Prepare
Whichever package you choose, the paperwork side stays light. Have these ready and we handle everything else:
- Passport copy of each shareholder, valid for 6+ months
- Passport-size photograph with a white background
- Proposed company name, plus one alternative
- A short description of what your business will actually do
- Proof of address for each shareholder (utility bill or bank statement)
- CV or profile only if your activity is regulated, such as education, healthcare, or certain consultancies
Translations, attestations, application forms, and government filings are all included in our service — you never deal with a government counter yourself.
What Your Package Covers
Our published package prices are fixed and all-inclusive: free zone setup from AED 12,000, mainland setup from AED 18,000, and offshore setup from AED 18,500. Here is what sits inside those figures:
| Included | Details |
|---|---|
| Jurisdiction and activity advice | Zone or emirate comparison matched to your business model |
| Licence and registration | Application, trade name reservation, and issuance fees handling |
| Document preparation | MOA drafting, translations, and attestations where required |
| Visa coordination | Investor visa processing, Emirates ID, medical, and stamping |
| Banking support | Compliance file preparation and bank introductions |
Your written quote itemises every dirham before you pay anything, and renewals are quoted separately each year — no auto-billing, no hidden line items.
What Is Not Included in the Package Price
Our fixed package quote covers the items listed under What Your Package Covers. The following are quoted separately, because they depend on your case:
- Visa government fees beyond the package allocation — medical, Emirates ID, and stamping charges per person
- Physical office rent or Ejari, where your structure requires an office outside the package
- Regulatory approvals for regulated activities (education, healthcare, fintech, and similar)
- Document attestation, notarisation, and translation for cases that require them
- Annual renewals — quoted separately each year on your licence anniversary
Confirm current fees before you pay: free zone and mainland authority fees change from time to time. Your written quote itemises every dirham against the authority’s current fee schedule before you commit.
Free Zone, Mainland, or Offshore: Which Structure Fits?
Every UAE structure solves a different problem, and most founders only need one of the three. Here is how to think about the choice before you request a quote:
| Structure | Choose It If | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Free zone | You sell services or e-commerce internationally and want a low upfront cost, fast setup, and 100% ownership from day one | Direct UAE-market trade is restricted; you distribute through a local agent or set up a mainland arm later |
| Mainland | You sell to UAE customers, want government contracts, or need an unrestricted office and visa footprint | Higher office (Ejari) costs, especially in Dubai; approvals take slightly longer |
| Offshore | You need a UAE-registered holding company, asset protection, or international invoicing without UAE residency | No UAE residence visa and no physical office — it is a holding vehicle, not an operating licence |
Founders who outgrow a free zone usually add a mainland licence rather than replacing it — the two structures complement each other. Our consultants map the right sequence for your growth plan during the free consultation, and the same team handles both registrations if you proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business setup cost in the UAE?
Our free zone packages start from AED 12,000, mainland packages from AED 18,000, and offshore setups from AED 18,500. Your exact quote depends on the zone or emirate, licence type, office package, and number of visas — we confirm it in writing before you commit.
How long does company formation take?
A free zone licence issues in 3–10 working days after document submission. A mainland licence typically takes one to two weeks including Ejari. Visas add 1–3 weeks and bank account opening 1–4 weeks.
Can foreigners own 100% of a UAE company?
Yes. All free zones allow 100% foreign ownership, and since 2021 most mainland activities do too. We confirm ownership rules for your exact activity before you start.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up?
Often not for incorporation itself — many free zones and mainland processes can start remotely. Visa stamping usually requires at least a short visit. We plan the travel steps around your situation.
Do you help after the licence is issued?
Yes. Renewals, visa additions, licence amendments, activity changes, and PRO filings are all part of our ongoing support — most clients stay with us for years.
