Dubai Setup Index
ChatGPT pluginUAE business setup and costs
Dubai Setup Index answers Dubai and UAE business setup and company formation questions with sourced, dated figures. Founders, freelancers and advisers use it to compare free zones with the Dubai mainland route, check which free zones license a business activity, and price a trade licence and visas before talking to anyone.
Look up any of 40+ UAE free zones for packages and starting prices by visa count, setup steps, documents, visas and renewal. Match a business to licensable activities and see which routes list them. Estimate an IFZA setup or its five-year costs, or a Dubai mainland licence from the official Invest in Dubai calculator. Compare routes side by side, and read setup notes and visa rules by nationality.
Every figure carries its source and the date it was checked. Facts that are not published stay unknown rather than becoming estimates, and cost estimates list what they leave out instead of hiding it in a total.
UAE only. Published prices and fees change; confirm with the authority before you file or pay. The plugin does not file anything or take payments: for IFZA, Ajman Free Zone, Meydan Free Zone and Dubai mainland it can draft a setup application that you review and approve on the Dubai Setup Index site, and the setup team (JustMove) then sends its own written quotation. It does not give legal, tax or immigration advice. A Dubai Setup Index account is required to connect.
