Cost questions, answered.
How much does it cost to start a company in Dubai?
The cost depends on your licence type (free zone, mainland or offshore), business activity, number of partners, visas and office. Use the ASAS cost calculator, share your details, and a consultant will send your personalised quote on WhatsApp.
Is the quote final?
The quote ASAS sends is based on your answers. Final costs depend on your activity, the authority or free zone, approvals and current government fees, and are confirmed free of charge before you commit.
Do I need an office to start a company in Dubai?
Mainland companies need an Ejari-registered office, which can be a flexi desk or shared office. Many free zones include flexi desk options. Offshore companies do not need a UAE office.
Can I get a UAE residence visa with an offshore company?
No. Offshore companies cannot sponsor UAE residence visas. If you need residency, choose a free zone or mainland licence.
How long does company setup take?
A free zone setup can often be completed in a few working days once documents are ready. Mainland setup and activities needing approvals take longer. ASAS gives a clear timeline at your consultation.
