Quick answers before you ask.

How do I know which jurisdiction is right?

Depends on three things: where your customers are (UAE vs. international), whether you need UAE government tenders, and your tax structure preferences. We’ll walk through this in your free 30-min consultation.

What’s the realistic total cost (license + visa + bank)?

Free Zone: AED 7,500-15,000 first year. Mainland: AED 13,000-25,000 first year. Offshore: AED 7,000-12,000 first year. The range depends on activity, visa numbers, and office requirements. We itemise everything in the proposal.

How long until I can actually invoice clients?

From license issuance: immediate for Free Zone and Mainland. Bank account adds 2-4 weeks separately. Most JPA clients are invoicing within 3-4 weeks of starting the engagement.

Can I change jurisdiction later if I pick wrong?

Yes, but it’s expensive — you essentially set up a new company and migrate. That’s why we spend time on jurisdiction strategy upfront. Better to spend 30 minutes consulting than re-incorporating later.

  • Specific zone authority's annual fee that year (zones can revise their pricing)
  • Visa medical, Emirates ID, and stamping fees (~AED 2,000-3,500 per visa)
  • Tenancy contract / Ejari (mandatory for visa endorsement) — from AED 350
  • Bank account opening minimum balance (varies by bank)
