How much does it cost to set up a business in the UAE?

The cost varies based on factors like business type, location (mainland or free zone), and operational requirements. It can range from AED 5,000 to over AED 50,000.

The time typically ranges from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the type of business, application complexity, and efficiency of document submission and approvals. Through digital platforms like Basher, you can establish a company in as little as 15 minutes.

Dubai offers several types of business licenses, including Commercial Licenses, Professional Licenses, Industrial Licenses, and Tourism Licenses, each catering to specific business activities.

The best jurisdiction depends on your business needs:

  • Mainland – Ideal for businesses requiring flexibility, government contracts, and trade within the UAE.
  • Free Zone – Best for industry-specific benefits, tax exemptions, and full foreign ownership.
  • Offshore – Suitable for international businesses looking for asset protection and tax efficiency.

Our experts can help you choose the right option based on your goals.

UAE nationals/Emiratis or companies owned 100% by UAE nationals can be appointed as local service agents.

Failure to renew your business license before its expiration can result in fines and temporary suspension of business activities. Late fees accumulate daily, making it crucial to track renewal dates.

Factors affecting setup costs include the nature of the business, chosen jurisdiction (mainland, free zone, or offshore), and any required certifications and approvals
