What will your UAE company actually cost?
A few questions. You get an itemised figure — free zone and government fees separated from our service fee — before we ask for anything.
How our pricing works
Every figure 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 3,999 (licence + 1 visa), Business at AED 4,999 (licence + 3 visas + Small Business Relief (SBR) eligibility check), and Premium at AED 7,999 (licence + 5 visas + CT + VAT; ERP included). Extra visas same engagement: +AED 1,000 each.
As a worked example: an Ajman Free Zone company with no residence visas starts from AED 5,565 in free zone fees, plus our Starter package — roughly AED 9,564 in total (zone fees at cost + service fee), with year-two renewal at the same package price. An SPC or Shams licence without visas starts from AED 6,885 in zone fees. For a single freelancer, the Ajman freelance permit starts at AED 6,010 without a visa, or AED 12,131 with one residence visa included. 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.
The calculator prices Ajman, SPC, Shams, Meydan, IFZA and RAK free zones from current official rate cards, including the difference between applicants inside and outside the UAE where it applies. IFZA also offers 2-, 3- and 5-year licence terms at 15–30% discounts; RAK includes up to 10 activities in the licence fee. DMCC and mainland Dubai we quote individually.
Partner of major UAE free zones, including IFZA, Meydan Free Zone, DMCC, SHAMS, RAKEZ and SPC Free Zone, plus Dubai mainland company setup.
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 9,564 in total (Ajman free zone fees from AED 5,565, passed through at cost, plus a service package from AED 3,999; SPC and Shams licences start from AED 6,885 in zone fees). 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 current free zone rate cards, which the authorities may change. Final pricing is confirmed at application.

End-to-end processing of the licence and visas, corporate bank account assistance, and VAT and Corporate Tax registration. Starter is licence + 1 visa at AED 3,999; Business is licence + 3 visas + SBR eligibility check at AED 4,999; Premium is licence + 5 visas + CT + VAT at AED 7,999 (ERP included). Extra visas in the same engagement: +AED 1,000 each (example: 2 visas = Starter + 1 visa AED 4,999).
