Comparing UAE Licence Costs
Trade licence fees are a major cost for a new UAE business, and they vary by emirate, free zone, activity and package. This worksheet holds no fee figures of its own: enter the numbers from each quote to compare first-year totals side by side.
What to Include
Ask each authority or free zone for a written quote covering the licence, registration, office or flexi-desk, establishment card and per-visa costs, so the totals compare like for like.
