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.
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.
