Compare UAE Business Setup Packages Side-by-Side

Select packages, free zones, or jurisdictions to compare features, pricing, and benefits.

Quick answer: to compare UAE business setup packages fairly, check the same four things on each: the price basis (fixed total or "starting from"), how many visas are included rather than just allowed, the type of office, and whether the year-two renewal price is stated. Every package here links to the provider's own source page and shows the date we last checked it.

What to compare across UAE setup packages

  • Visas: how many visas the package includes, or only how many you are eligible for. Each visa usually costs extra.
  • Office: flexi-desk or virtual office, or a full lease with Ejari (needed for mainland).
  • Activity approvals: whether your activity needs approval from a ministry or other authority, at extra cost.
  • Year-two renewal: whether the provider states the renewal price or only a first-year offer.

Compare Packages

Pick two or three packages — free zone, mainland or offshore — and compare them side by side. Start typing a package, provider or zone name to search.
