Dubai free zones costs

Dubai free zones costs vary depending on the sector, location, and facilities offered. Typical expenses include license fees, office rent (or flexi-desk packages), visa issuance, and registration charges. Packages often start from AED 10,000–15,000 annually, making them accessible to startups and SMEs.

Some free zones like Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) or Dubai CommerCity offer all-inclusive packages that cover workspace, utilities, and visa quotas. Larger hubs like DMCC or JAFZA cater to multinational corporations with premium office space and warehousing facilities.

While costs differ, the long-term benefits — including tax exemptions, access to global markets, and simplified regulations — make free zone investment cost-effective. Many investors choose free zones for their scalability, starting small and expanding operations as the business grows.
