How much does it cost to set up a company in Fujairah Free Zone (Fujairah FZ)?
Indicative setup in Fujairah FZ starts from around AED 9,000. Your final cost depends on the number of residence visas (roughly AED 3,500–5,500 each), whether you need a physical office, and your specific business activity. Free zones also run regular promotions, which we pass on — so your quote is often lower than the starting figure.
