Free Zone Decision
Foundster online checkout currently supports two Dubai Free Zone routes. Pick the one that sounds closest to your business, then the calculator opens with that setup selected.
Dubai Silicon Oasis
Best for
Consultants, agencies, online-service founders and trading businesses that want a straightforward, cost-conscious Free Zone setup.
Good signals
Central Dubai
Best for
Founders who value a central Dubai profile, broad activity coverage and a premium Free Zone positioning.
Good signals
Both are Free Zone setups. If your activity may require regulated approvals, direct UAE local-market access or a Mainland structure, run the setup check before ordering.
Cost Architecture
The calculator separates the real cost blocks behind an IFZA or Meydan Free Zone company formation before you order.
| Cost block | When it applies | Foundster treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Free Zone License | Always | Official IFZA or Meydan list-price logic, based on duration and selected route. |
| Visa Allocation | When visas are selected | Shows how founder or employee visas change the total before checkout. |
| Establishment / Immigration Card | When required for visa routes | Kept separate from the license so the setup cost stays readable. |
| Medical, Emirates ID and On-site Steps | When residence is part of the plan | Handled through optional support paths instead of hidden in the base price. |
| Optional Services | Only when selected | Corporate Tax registration, Personal Care and add-ons remain explicit line items. |
| Renewals | After the first license term | Tracked in the Company Cockpit, where you can request support for the next renewal. |
Build your IFZA or Meydan setup step by step and see how license duration, visas and optional services change the total before checkout.
