*Indicative starting prices, checked on 4 November 2026. What a package includes differs: some are for media or publishing activities only, some include the visa medical, Emirates ID and insurance and some do not. The calculator above shows what each price covers. T&Cs apply.
What else to budget for
Extra activities, extra shareholders, a larger office and visa medical tests, Emirates ID and insurance where a package leaves them out. Check the renewal price too: some free zones renew at the same price as year one and others do not. Our company formation service compares the free zones that fit your activity, and sets up your corporate tax registration, VAT checks and books from day one.
