Setup CostsHow we check prices
Every figure on this site has a source and a date.
Where the figures come from
We read each free zone’s own website and price lists. We record the price as published, in dirhams. We do not estimate a price and we do not add fees together to make one.
Official, agency, third party
Official means the free zone published the figure. Agency means a setup agency quoted it, because the zone publishes no price. Third party means a comparison site or guide gave it. Each figure shows which one it is.
Dates
Each zone shows the date we last read its sources. Prices change, and zones run promotions. The setup agency confirms the final price.
What we do not know
Some zones do not publish renewal prices, visa fees or audit rules. Where we could not find a figure, the zone page says so.
How the site is paid
When you ask for a quote, we pass your details to one setup agency. The agency may pay us if you become its client. You pay the same price as a direct client. Payment does not change the order of the zones or the figures shown.
The guide
The shortlist guide is an automated assistant. It works from the same data set. It does not give tax or legal advice.
