Cost

Freezone Company Formation Cost

Costs vary by free zone, business activity, office package, and visa count, so there’s no single flat price across Dubai’s free zones. As a general guide, a lean setup with a flexi-desk and a single visa can start from around AED 12,900 to AED 15,000. In contrast, premium zones like DMCC with a dedicated office and multiple visas can run considerably higher. PRO Deskk gives you an itemized quote upfront based on your specific zone and activity, and our in-house typing is included at government cost with no markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up a free zone company in Dubai?

Typically between 3 and 10 working days, depending on the free zone and the complexity of your business activity.

What documents are required for free zone company formation?

You’ll generally need passport copies, proof of residence, and personal details of shareholders and directors, though specific requirements vary by free zone.

Do I need a local sponsor for a free zone company?

No. Free zone companies allow 100% foreign ownership without a local sponsor, unlike most mainland setups.

Can I trade with the UAE mainland from a free zone company?

How do I know my documents were actually submitted?

We send WhatsApp updates at each stage and give you access to a Google Drive folder with copies of everything filed on your behalf.
