Costs are indicative and should be confirmed before committing to a package.
Each emirate offers a distinct ecosystem of free zones tailored to specific industries and business needs:
Selecting the right free zone depends on four key factors: your business activity, your budget, your visa requirements, and your target market. Use the filters on this page to narrow down free zones by emirate, setup cost, and visa options. You can also use our free zone comparison tool to see side-by-side costs and benefits.
Key questions to ask: Does the free zone license your specific activity? What is the minimum share capital? How many visas are included in the base package? Can you open a UAE corporate bank account?
Answers to the most common questions from entrepreneurs and investors.

There is no universal lowest complete cost for every business. Compare named packages with the same activity, visa count, validity and workspace requirements, then confirm mandatory charges and renewal in an itemised quote. A lower advertised licence amount can exclude costs that another offer includes. Do not annualise an offer whose duration is not established.
Yes. All UAE free zones allow 100% foreign ownership of companies registered within them. This is one of the primary advantages of free zone formation compared to mainland UAE, where certain activities may have different ownership structures depending on the business activity.
UAE free zone companies that meet the Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) criteria under the UAE Corporate Tax Law (effective June 2023) benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income. Non-qualifying income is subject to the standard 9% corporate tax. Personal income tax does not apply in the UAE regardless of residency status.
Free zone companies operate within a designated economic zone and can trade freely within that zone and internationally, but must appoint a local distributor or agent to sell directly to the UAE mainland market. Mainland companies can operate anywhere in the UAE without such restrictions. Free zones typically offer faster setup, lower costs, and simpler regulatory requirements than mainland setups.
Dubai Internet City (DIC), Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), in5 Tech (operated by TECOM), and IFZA are among the top choices for technology startups. DMCC also has a strong tech ecosystem. For more affordable options, SHAMS and SPC Free Zone offer tech licensing at lower price points. The best free zone depends on your team size, funding stage, and whether you need a physical office or a flexi-desk setup.
