What will your UAE company actually cost?
Five questions. You get an itemised estimate — free zone and government fees separated from our service fee — before we ask for anything.
How our pricing works
Every estimate on this page is built from two separate parts: the free zone and government fees, which we pass through at cost with no mark-up, and our service package, which is a flat fee based on how many residence visas you need.
Our service packages: Starter at AED 4,999 (0–1 visa), Business at AED 5,999 (2–3 visas), and Premium at AED 9,999 (4 or more visas, or a golden visa). Year-two renewal is at the same package price.
As a worked example: an Ajman Free Zone company with no residence visas starts from AED 5,565 in published free zone fees, plus our Starter package — roughly AED 10,500–11,500 all-in. A one-visa setup typically lands between AED 16,000 and AED 20,000 depending on activity and add-ons. Mainland Dubai works differently: government fees usually run AED 10,000–15,000 plus 5% of annual office rent, so we price it case by case.
For SPC, Shams, RAKEZ and Meydan free zones we quote individually rather than publishing a number here, because their fees vary by activity and package in ways a calculator would oversimplify.
How much does it cost to set up a company in the UAE?
A lean free zone company with no residence visas starts from roughly AED 10,500 all-in (published free zone fees from AED 5,565 plus a service package from AED 4,999). With one residence visa, expect AED 16,000–20,000. Mainland Dubai typically involves AED 10,000–15,000 in government fees plus 5% of annual rent, priced case by case.
Does Lexoford Services mark up government fees?
No. Free zone and government fees are passed through at cost and itemised separately from the service package fee.
Is the calculator result a quotation?
No. It is an indicative estimate based on published free zone fees, which the authority may change. Final pricing is confirmed at application.
What does the service package include?
End-to-end processing of the licence and visas, corporate bank account assistance, and VAT and Corporate Tax registration. Starter covers 0–1 visa at AED 4,999, Business 2–3 visas at AED 5,999, Premium 4+ visas or golden visa cases at AED 9,999.
