Choosing the right package for your business
Packages are organised by zone type — free zone, mainland, or emirate — and by authority. Here's how to narrow it down before you apply.
The Packages page lets you filter by zone type (free zone, mainland, or emirate) and compare price, number of included business activities, typical timeline, and what each package covers.
If you're a solo founder or consultant who doesn't need a physical office, a lower-cost free zone package is usually the fastest and cheapest route. If you need to trade directly within the UAE market or bid for government contracts, a mainland package is the better fit, since only mainland licences allow that.
Every package's page shows exactly what's included — activities, establishment card, and any authority-specific benefits — with no hidden government fees folded into the headline price. VAT and the flat establishment card fee are shown separately in your quote before you pay.
If you're not sure which package fits your business activity, the "Compare" tool on the Packages page lets you view several side by side, and Contact takes you straight to an advisor if you'd rather ask directly.
