Mainland or free zone?

Start with your business activity, not just the licence price.

Your activity sets the starting point

Define what you will sell, where you will operate and who your customers are. Then check activities available with the relevant mainland or free-zone licensing authority.

Compare the complete cost

Request an itemised quotation covering licensing, premises, administrative services and recurring costs. Requirements and fees vary by activity, authority and circumstances.

Consider operations before deciding

Discuss staffing, premises and contracts before choosing your pathway. Al Etemad helps prepare and follow up the file; the licensing authority makes the decision.
