How much does it cost to open a free zone company in Dubai?

The cost of opening a free zone company in Dubai varies significantly based on the chosen free zone, the type of business activity, and the specific requirements of the investor. In Dubai free zones, company registration fees and obtaining necessary licenses start from USD 7,000 and can amount to USD 15,000 and more if you set up a big company with many employees and a large office. 

Note that usually the setup costs already include the rent of a flexi desk or dedicated office space. If your budget is rather limited, you can think of northern emirates as their free zone authorities charge about USD 4,000-5,000 for a basic setup.
