Company Setup with JAFZA in Dubai

Set up in JAFZA (from AED 25,000 per year, indicative)

A JAFZA company gives you a Dubai freezone licence with direct access to Jebel Ali Port, which is the reason serious traders, manufacturers and logistics operators pick it. If your business moves goods at volume, needs warehousing next to the quay, or runs a manufacturing line that depends on import and export flow, this is the setup built for it. Indicative pricing starts from AED 25,000 per year, and the exact figure depends on your activity, your facility, and how many visas you need, so a consultant confirms it, no guessing.

We have started 1,400+ companies over 19+ years, and we handle the whole thing end to end: licence, documents, establishment card, visas and the bank introductions that actually go somewhere. You get one team from first call to live account, not a handoff at every stage.

What JAFZA licenses

JAFZA is built for larger operations, the kind that need the port, not just an address:

• Trading (including bulk and re-export)
• Manufacturing (production and light industrial)
• Logistics (warehousing, distribution and freight)

What it costs, and what the figure depends on

The from AED 25,000 per year starting point is indicative. Your real number moves with your activity, your facility type, and your visa count. Rather than quote a headline you will have to unlearn later, we price your exact case in one call, free, no obligation.

There is no single flat freezone fee anywhere in the UAE. The honest number comes from your activity and visa count, and we give it to you before you commit, not mid-process.

How long it takes

Timelines depend on the authority's own processing and your activity. Larger, licensed operations naturally involve more approval stages than a lean consultancy. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific case at the start and keep you updated at every stage, rather than quoting a number we do not control.

What you will need

Broadly:

• Shareholder and director passport copies
• Proof of address
• Your chosen business activity and trade name
• Company structure details

Manufacturing and logistics setups often need activity-specific approvals and facility documentation. We confirm the exact list for your case before anything is submitted, so nothing bounces back.

Banking (where most setups stall, and where we are strongest)

Every consultant says they assist with banking. We have named account-opening officers at 10+ UAE banks and have opened 1,000+ accounts, so we know exactly what each bank's compliance team will ask, because we have done it a thousand times. We prepare your file to that standard, brief you on the source-of-funds and KYC questions, and manage it through to the account being live.

Approval always rests with the bank, as no honest advisor guarantees it. What we control is the quality of the file, which is what most rejections come down to. See our bank account opening service for what that involves.

Not sure JAFZA is the right zone?

If you want a Dubai freezone address with strong banking relationships but a lighter setup, IFZA and Meydan are worth weighing against JAFZA. Both carry a Dubai licence and we register clients there directly. In one call we will walk you through the trade-off against your actual activity and visa count, and tell you which fits before you commit a dirham.
