Furthermore, Free-Zone companies in UAE may establish Branch or Representative offices, provided they are also active within the Free-Zone area and utilize the services of a local service agent. Free-Zone companies benefit from full banking facilities including credit / ATM cards. Being considered as a UAE Resident company, they offer more credibility to the outside world and send a serious message about your presence in the region. It is important to note that these types of companies are more expensive to set up and maintain in comparison to offshore entities, starting at approx. 12,000 AED to set-up (depending on which jurisdiction and the type of license we apply for). The cost of renewal is dependent on license costs and office space leased.
