Free Zone Licence Cost and Locations in the UAE

There are dozens of free zones across the UAE, and the right one depends on your activity, clients, visa needs and budget. Browse the zones below, then ask us for a personal quotation based on your exact requirements.

What drives the cost of a free zone licence

Prices differ widely between zones and packages. These are the factors that usually move the total.

  • The licence activity and licence type
  • The number of visas you need
  • The facility: flexi desk, shared office, private office or warehouse
  • Renewal rates after the first year
  • Government approvals for regulated activities
  • Optional extras such as name reservation or attestations

Why we do not publish a single price

A quote only makes sense once your activity, shareholders and visa plan are known. We prefer to give you a clear, itemised quotation rather than a number that changes later.

Frequently asked questions

Which free zone is the most affordable?

It depends on your activity and visa plan. Zones in the northern emirates are often competitive on entry cost, while some Dubai zones offer strong value for specific industries. We compare the total cost, not only the headline price.

Are renewal fees the same as setup fees?

Not always. Renewal can differ from the first-year price, so we ask for the renewal costs in writing before you decide.

Can I move to another free zone later?

It is possible, but it usually means setting up in the new zone and closing the old licence, so choosing well at the start is worthwhile.
