A UAE freezone company from AED 8,650
UAQ FTZ is one of the most affordable ways to get a real UAE company off the ground. You get a freezone trade licence, up to five shareholders, your lease agreement, visa processing, Emirates ID, , medical, insurance and full company documents, plus opening assistance to go with it. Setups start from AED 8,650, and most complete in 3 to 5 working days once your documents are in.
That AED 8,650 is a starting estimate. Your exact figure depends on your licence type, how many segments you choose, and how many visas you need. A consultant confirms the final number for you, so there are no surprises mid-process.
What UAQ FTZ licenses
The zone sits in Umm Al Quwain and covers a workable range of activities: trading, consulting and e-commerce. It is a strong fit for solo operators, consultants and online businesses that want a genuine UAE company at the lowest possible entry cost.
Your package can include:
Company licence, up to 5 shareholders (additional shareholders chargeable)
Up to 5 segments, depending on licence type
Lease agreement, registration fee and access to co-working space
Visa per package tier, with issuance and processing included, medical, Emirates ID and establishment card
E-Channel, medical insurance and full company documents
Bank account opening assistance and access to UAQ FTZ value-added services
What we need from you
Just two documents to start: a passport copy and proof of address. We prepare and submit the file to the authority's exact specifications, which is what keeps approval straightforward in practice.
