The duration of your company setup and visa issuance depends on the jurisdiction. On average, you will receive your company license between 1-7 working days, and your residency visa will be issued within an additional 7 working days.

When you choose to set up your business in Dubai or UAE, a free zone company will provide you with 100% ownership. Free zone business setup is generally the most cost-effective option for your business launch in the UAE. Your free zone license provides you with maximum flexibility, allowing you to mix and match up to 7 business activities on the same license. Furthermore, you can sponsor up to 15 employees through your UAE free zone company.

Certain business activities will require you to choose a mainland license. Any business activity that requires you to take a physical space (either a shop or a dedicated office) can only be legally operated with a mainland jurisdiction. Your Dubai mainland license will also enable you to trade anywhere inside Dubai and the UAE. The number of employees you can sponsor on your Dubai mainland license is unlimited.

Many people who are new to the UAE will search for a Dubai license, not knowing that all seven emirates offer very competitive advantages for business owners in the UAE. Currently, the most popular free zones that our clients are choosing are located in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

The cost for a free zone license starts from only AED 5,999. If you need a residency visa, you can receive both starting from AED 13,000. The cost for a mainland license without residency varies depending on many factors and starts from somewhere around AED 12,000.
