Business Setup in
Dafza Freezone
Starting a business in Dubai is a big step. Dubai Airport Free Zone might be one of the best options for it, especially if you care about location. It is right next to Dubai International Airport so practically that makes it quite convenient for import, export, and all kinds of logistics work. But it’s not only for shipping types of companies either, it can fit tech firms, trading companies, and consultancies as well.
Another point people like is that DAFZA gives you 100% foreign ownership. You do not have to find a local sponsor, which saves time and headaches. Also, profits can be remitted back to your home country with no limits. Put all these factors together, and DAFZA becomes a very solid pick for investors from everywhere around the world.

Transparent & Affordable Business Setup Pricing
Business Setup in Price
Dafza Free Zone
When evaluating setup options, cost is often the primary question investors ask. Pricing in DAFZA is tailored to your company’s specific footprint and depends on key variables including your chosen license type (trading, service, or industrial), the specific business activities selected, the workspace requirement, ranging from a flexi-desk to a large private office, and the total number of residence visas required. While a basic company setup starts at a highly competitive baseline, opting for larger physical facilities or additional visa allocations will adjust the final cost. Requesting a custom quote tailored precisely to your operational needs ensures full financial clarity and eliminates unexpected expenses down the road.
