UAE Business Setup & Compliance Pricing
Transparent fixed-fee pricing across every service we offer — Free Zone setup, Mainland licensing, visas, banking, accounting, VAT, Corporate Tax and PRO retainers. No surprise invoices, no hidden margins on government fees.
How Our Pricing Works
Every service is split clearly into government fees (paid to authorities, fixed by them, passed through at cost) and our service fee (what we charge to do the work). The tables below show all-in ranges for typical packages — your final quote is fixed in writing before you commit.

Full payment in advance.
What’s NOT included?
Three common exclusions: Ejari office rent (Mainland), bank minimum deposit (typically AED 25,000-50,000 for tier-1 banks), and translator service fees if your documents require official Arabic translation by a third-party legal translator.
