What we think
Publishes two different price lists for the same products on two of its own domains. The main site quotes AED 5,500 for a zero-visa licence, the landing page quotes AED 3,999. The visa quota contradicts itself the same way. Get any quote in writing before you pay.
Publishes its headline prices, but not everythingPackages
- Licence with no visa allocation
- Three-year commitment priced at AED 13,200
- Licence plus one visa allocation
- Advertised as all inclusive
- Licence plus two visa allocations
- Zero-visa AED 3,999
- Second tier AED 6,499
- Third tier AED 8,499
- All-inclusive packs AED 10,990 to AED 16,010
Where each line was read: product page, a commercial commitment on the zone's own site. Official document, a downloadable schedule, regulation or terms. Blog only, an article on the zone's site, editorial and not contractual. Not published, the zone does not say.
Visas
Offices and desks
Year two, and closing down
The two figures nobody advertises. A cheap first year means nothing if year two doubles, and nothing at all if leaving costs a fortune.
Renewal, per year
Not published. The three-year commitment at AED 13,200 implies AED 4,400 a year but no renewal tariff is stated.
Closing the company
Not published. No cancellation or liquidation fee appears anywhere on the site.

AED 1,000 back on this zone
This zone pays us an introduction fee, and we hand AED 1,000 of it back to you once your trade licence has actually been issued. You pay the zone exactly what you would pay going direct, we never take a dirham from you, and the cashback is only due if you filled in the Free Zone Radar form first.
Figures quoted from the zone are left in the language the zone published them in, so you can check them word for word. This file is available in English and French. The comparator itself is in Arabic too.
