Starter Package — frequently asked questions

Answered from the provider's published package data as last checked on 2026-10-07. Where the provider publishes nothing, the answer says so.

How much does Starter Package cost?
Decisive Zone publishes from AED 12,010 for Starter Package. That figure is recorded as "Starting from" — The lowest published entry price. Your final price depends on activity, visa count and zone, and is not a fixed total. Business Setup AE last checked the provider's own published page on 2026-10-07 and does not add any commission to it.
What is included in Starter Package?
As published by Decisive Zone: Northern emirate business address; 100% company ownership; no paid-up share capital; remote licence setup; co-working access; 2000+ activities. Anything not on that list is simply not published, which means unknown — not excluded. Ask the provider to confirm the full scope in writing before you pay.
What is not included in Starter Package?
Decisive Zone explicitly lists these as excluded: Provider page states 'From AED 12,010'. Budget for them separately. Items the provider does not mention at all are recorded as unknown rather than excluded.
How many visas does Starter Package include?
This package includes no residence visa. It is a licence-only structure, suitable if you already hold UAE residence or do not need one. Visas can normally be added later at additional government and provider cost.
Where is Starter Package registered?
Free Zone; licensing emirate and authority unconfirmed. It is classified as Freezone with a not stated licence type, and the office arrangement is recorded as Office / co-working.
What does Starter Package cost to renew?
Renewal cost: Not stated. A year-two figure has not been verified for this package. Ask Decisive Zone for a separate written renewal breakdown: amounts, recurring items and billing periods depend on the authority and package.

What you will need next

A licence on its own does not make a company operational. These are the steps that normally follow, in the order most founders hit them.

  1. 1. Office space for lease in the UAE — Flexi-desk vs office cost and visa quota per square metre
  2. 2. UAE business bank account opening — What banks require and why applications are declined
  3. 3. UAE corporate tax — 9% above AED 375,000, FTA registration and free zone conditions
  4. 4. Accounting and bookkeeping in the UAE — Record-keeping duties, IFRS, filing deadlines and monthly cost bands
  5. 5. Trade licence renewal — Annual renewal requirements, Ejari and late-renewal fines

Business setup prices, government fees, visa costs, office requirements and eligibility may change. Package information is based on publicly available provider information and should be confirmed with the provider before payment.
