The cost of business licenses in Dubai varies depending on the type of license. Some are available from as little as AED 4,000, while others, such as the commercial license for large companies, can cost up to AED 50,000. The exact cost depends on a number of factors. These include the form of the company and the region of establishment (mainland, freezone, offshore). Other important key figures are:
- Number of shareholders;
- Partnerships with local sponsors;
- Type of business;
- Number of business partners.
