What makes up the cost of a free zone company?
Licence and registration. The core yearly fee for your trade licence, usually bundled with a flexi-desk or office and your incorporation documents.
Activities. Most packages include a set number of activities. Adding more, or mixing groups such as trading and services, can add a fee.
Establishment card. Needed before you can sponsor any visa. It registers your company with immigration.
Visas. Each residence visa includes an allocation fee, entry permit, status change (if you are already in the UAE), medical test and Emirates ID.
Office. A flexi-desk is enough for many small companies. More visas or a physical presence may need a shared or private office.
Optional services. Bank account assistance, tax registration, PRO support and bookkeeping make life easier after setup.
