Entry costs range from about AED 5,750 to AED 45,000+ all-in.

How the Free Zone Finder Works

Your best-fit UAE free zone in two steps

1

Answer 6 quick questions

Your activity, where your customers are, your need for a Dubai address, your budget, your visa count and your workspace needs. These factors decide which zone actually fits.

2

Get your best-fit zones

See your top matches ranked, each with a verified 2026 cost range and a link to the full guide. No signup to see results.

The finder scores your answers against each zone strengths, because the lowest license price is rarely the best choice: a media business, an industrial trader and a crypto firm each have a different right zone even at similar prices.
