Range appears below.

Pick a jurisdiction and activity, set visas and office type, then click Estimate. We'll break down license, immigration, visa, and office costs and flag jurisdiction-specific catches.

Estimates are 2026 indicative ranges based on standard packages. Actual fees vary by activity sub-category, package promotions, share capital, special approvals (DCAS, DHA, KHDA, MoH, NMC, etc.), name reservation, attestation, medical and Emirates ID, deposits, and broker fees. They exclude corporate bank account opening, accounting, audit, and tax compliance. Always get a written quotation before committing.
