Dubai Free Zone Company From AED 12,500 — DMCC, IFZA, Meydan & More.

Dubai has over 30 free zones as of 2026, including DMCC, IFZA, Meydan, Dubai South, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Design District (d3), Dubai Healthcare City, DIFC, Dubai South Logistics District, and Dubai CommerCity. Each has its own trade activities, office options, and pricing.

IFZA at AED 12,500 all‑in is the cheapest full‑service Dubai free zone for 2026. It allows multi‑activity trade licenses, flexi‑desk offices, and 1–2 visa quotas at the entry tier. For founders willing to register outside Dubai proper, RAKEZ and SHAMS offer AED 5,500–6,500 packages with the same tax benefits.

DMCC, DIFC, and Meydan have the strongest banking relationships among Dubai free zones. Corporate bank account approval rates for these free zones at Emirates NBD, Mashreq, and HSBC are typically above 90% with proper KYC preparation. IFZA and Dubai Silicon Oasis also have good approval rates for well‑prepared applications.

Dubai free zone companies can sell to other UAE businesses (B2B) and internationally directly. To sell to UAE end consumers (B2C), you need either a mainland distributor partner or a dual‑license arrangement. Online e‑commerce to UAE consumers via your own website or marketplaces like Amazon UAE and Noon is generally permitted from a free zone license.

Dubai free zone companies that qualify as QFZPs (Qualifying Free Zone Persons) pay 0% corporate tax on qualifying income. Non‑qualifying income is taxed at the standard 9% rate above AED 375,000 profit. YABS assesses QFZP eligibility as part of every free zone setup.
