What are the Funds to be budgeted for before you decide to set up your business in the UAE?
While the prospect of making a profit is very enticing for anyone wanting to enter into the UAE, one should first consider the cost of operating in this market.
When setting up a company in the UAE, please do not get misled by the many ads you see which claim to start a company for only 10000 AED or 20000 AED.
The actual cost of operating your company is much more than the amounts generally advertised.
To give you a good idea, please check below for some costs that you would need to incur for doing business in the UAE –
a. Set up Costs – Company Formation Costs
b. Visa cost
c. Other Regulatory costs (Immigration, Establishment, MOL, DCCI, etc.)
d. Tenancy rental Costs (where applicable – its flexi desk costs in Free Zones and rental costs in Mainland)
e. Local Sponsor Costs (if mainland)
f. Minimum 6 months operating costs.
At Centurion Consulting L.L.C., we generally advise our clients to be prepared with a budget of
100,000 AED at the minimum before considering to start a business in the UAE.
