A Dubai South free zone company gives you a UAE licence inside the 145 square kilometre city that surrounds Al Maktoum International Airport, between the airport and Jebel Ali Port. You keep 100% ownership, choose from more than 3,500 activities, and a zero-visa licence at the Dubai South Business Hub starts at AED 12,500.
The hard part is the full first-year figure. The package covers the licence, the company documents and a flexi desk, but adding visas moves the price to AED 16,350 or AED 18,200. The establishment card, health insurance, corporate tax registration and the bank account sit on separate lines, and renewal prices are not published.
This is where we come in. We form the company ourselves and run your Dubai South business setup from start to finish: the package and activity choice, the KYC file, the licence, the establishment card, the visas and the bank introduction. Zone fees are passed on as published, and our fee sits on its own line.

Why Set Up a Company in Dubai South Free Zone
Founders pick the Dubai South freezone for three reasons: the location between Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port, a fully digital setup through the Dubai South Business Hub, and clear package prices that start at AED 12,500. You get 100% foreign ownership, a Dubai address and a licence that can sponsor residence visas.
Between Al Maktoum Airport and Jebel Ali Port
Dubai South is the master development around Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), and the free zone sits in Dubai's air, sea and road logistics corridor next to Jebel Ali Port. In April 2024 the Government of Dubai approved an AED 128 billion passenger terminal at the airport, planned for 260 million passengers a year, 400 aircraft gates and five parallel runways. A company in the zone sits next to that growth, and the planned Etihad Rail network will add a rail link to the other emirates.
A Fully Digital Setup at the Dubai South Business Hub
Dubai South launched the Dubai South Business Hub in September 2025 as a digital-first free zone platform inside Dubai South Business Park. The application, the documents, the licence, visas and renewals all run through one online portal, and Dubai South says licensing can be completed on the same day. For a founder abroad, that removes most of the trips other zones still ask for.
Set Up a Company in Dubai South
Company setup in Dubai South is quick when the file is complete on day one. We prepare it, file it with the zone and keep every fee visible.
- Package and activity advice: We match the package to the visas you actually need.
- KYC file prepared: We tell you what we need and build the application pack.
- One itemised quote: Zone fees at cost, our fee on its own line.
- Visas booked in order: Entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping in sequence.
- Bank file ready: The same pack our banking partners ask for, built once.
Dubai South Freezone Packages You Can Read in Advance
Most Dubai free zones publish a headline licence fee and quote the rest on request. The Dubai South Business Hub publishes three packages: AED 12,500 with no visa, AED 16,350 with one visa and AED 18,200 with two visas, each with the licence, the company documents and a flexi desk. That makes the Dubai South free zone fees easier to plan than most.
Room to Grow in Dubai South Business Park
A flexi desk carries one or two visas. A shared office carries two to four, a private office four or more, and warehouse units carry an allocation that depends on their size. A trading company can start on a desk and move into a warehouse in the same zone without changing its licence authority. Desks and offices sit in Dubai South Business Park, and warehouses sit in the logistics areas of Dubai South.

Dubai South Free Zone License and Company Types
The Dubai South free zone license covers trading, service and industrial work, with more than 3,500 activities that you can combine on one licence. Dubai South lists general trading, e-commerce, consultancy and services among its licence categories. Most founders form a new free zone company, and an existing business can open a branch instead.
Trading and General Trading Licences
A trading licence covers buying and selling named goods, and a general trading licence covers a wider range of goods under one approval. Both suit importers, distributors and companies that hold stock near the airport and the port. Selling into the UAE market outside the free zone usually runs through a local distributor or a mainland company, so plan the route to the customer before you choose the licence. Read about general trading licences in the UAE.
E-Commerce and Consultancy Licences
An e-commerce licence covers selling online, and a consultancy or service licence covers advice, management and professional work. These suit founders who need a UAE company, a visa and a bank account more than physical space. The flexi desk in the base package is usually enough. Read more on the e-commerce licence in Dubai.
Industrial Activity and Warehouses
Industrial activity needs space that matches it, so it starts with a warehouse or industrial unit rather than a desk. The visa allocation follows the unit size. If your business needs storage, light assembly or cold chain space close to an airport, this is where the zone stands out.
New Company or Branch
A new company is the standard route for founders. An existing company, from the UAE or abroad, can open a branch that carries out the same activity as its parent, with a general manager appointed for daily operations. A branch keeps the parent liable for its debts, so most groups that want a separate legal entity form a new company instead. See the full list of types of companies in the UAE.

Dubai South Free Zone Company Formation for Non-Residents
Dubai South free zone company formation works well for non-residents because the whole application runs online. You can own 100% of the company from abroad, reserve the name online and receive the licence without a visit. You only need to be in the UAE if you take a residence visa, for the medical test and the biometrics.
What You Can Do From Abroad
The Dubai South Business Hub portal handles the application, the documents, the licence and later the renewals. The name check tool reserves a company name instantly, and a cost calculator shows the package and government fees before you commit. Payments can be made by UAE-issued Visa credit card, and Dubai South says banks can turn the payment into instalments over 6, 12 or 18 months.
When You Need to Be in the UAE
A residence visa needs you in the country. After the entry permit, you take the medical fitness test and give biometrics for the Emirates ID, then the visa is stamped. Founders who do not need to live in the UAE can choose the zero-visa package and stay remote. Read our guide to the UAE investor visa.
Foreign Groups as Shareholders
A foreign parent company can be the shareholder of a new free zone company. That route adds corporate documents to the file: the certificate of incorporation, the register of shareholders and directors and a board resolution, usually attested. We tell you which documents need attestation before you order them, so nothing goes back and forth twice. Your registered address is in Dubai South Business Park, so you never rent separate space just to get the licence.
Set Up a Dubai South Company From Abroad
The whole setup is online, and we run it for you from the first call to the licence.
- No trip for the licence: The application, documents and licence run online.
- Corporate shareholders handled: We list the attested documents before you order them.
- Remote KYC: Identity checks done by video and secure upload.
- Visa only if you need it: Zero-visa package for founders who stay abroad.
- One point of contact: One team for the zone, the visas and the bank.
- Ready in days: Licence soon after a complete file is submitted.
Industries That Use Dubai South Companies
Dubai South companies are mostly in logistics, aviation, trading, e-commerce and professional services. Dubai South reports more than 25,000 entrepreneurs and businesses working through its free zone. The zone suits companies that move goods by air or sea, sell online across the region, or need a Dubai licence and visas at a known price.
Logistics and Freight Forwarding
Freight forwarders, customs brokers and third-party logistics firms use the zone for its position between the airport and Jebel Ali Port. A warehouse unit gives the company space for stock and a visa allocation for staff. If you plan to bring goods in and out, confirm early how customs and VAT treatment work for your premises, because the answer depends on the exact location.
Aviation and Aerospace Services
Aviation services, maintenance support and aviation trading companies cluster around Al Maktoum International Airport. The expansion of the airport into a 260 million passenger hub makes the area a long-term base for companies that sell to airlines and airport operators.
E-Commerce and Online Trading
E-commerce sellers use the e-commerce licence and the flexi desk, often with one or two visas. A company that holds stock can rent a warehouse unit as volumes grow. Pair the licence with a payment setup that accepts your sales channels from the start.
Consultancy, Technology and Services
Consultants, software firms and service companies use the zone mainly for the licence, the visa and the price. The work happens anywhere, and the free zone company holds the contracts and the bank account. A desk in Dubai South Business Park gives them a Dubai address for clients and banks. For holding structures, read how to set up a holding company in Dubai.

How Business Setup in Dubai South Works
Business setup in Dubai South runs in six steps: plan the business, choose the package, reserve the name, file the application, receive the licence and finish the visas, tax registration and bank account. The licence can be issued in one business day from a complete application. Visas and banking take longer.
Before You Start
Decide what the company will sell, to whom and from where. Those answers set the activities, the licence type, the space and the number of visas. Check whether any activity needs approval from another authority. If you plan to hold stock or bring goods through the port, plan the premises and customs route before you pick the package.
We Choose the Package and Activities
We match the activities to the licence category and the package to the visas you plan to sponsor. A founder who stays abroad takes the zero-visa package. A founder who moves to Dubai takes one visa. A small team starts with two visas on a desk or a shared office.
We Reserve the Name and File the Application
We check and reserve the company name, then file the application with the passports, proof of address, the business plan summary and any corporate documents. We check every document before submission, so the zone does not send the file back with questions.
We Collect the Licence and Company Documents
Once the zone approves the file, it issues the licence and the company documents: the articles of association and the share register. The flexi desk or office lease in Dubai South Business Park is part of the package. These documents open every later step, from the establishment card to the bank account.
We Finish the Establishment Card and Visas
The establishment card registers the company with immigration so it can sponsor visas. We then book the entry permit, the change of status if you are already in the UAE, the medical test, the Emirates ID biometrics and the stamping, in the right order.
We Register for Corporate Tax and Open the Account
Every UAE company registers for corporate tax, and new companies have three months from incorporation to do it under Federal Tax Authority Decision No. 3 of 2024. We file the registration and prepare the bank file at the same time, so the company can trade as soon as the account is open.
Full-Service Dubai South Business Setup
The setup takes days, not weeks, when one team runs every step.
- Name and application: We reserve the name and file a complete application.
- Licence and documents: Licence, articles and share register collected for you.
- Establishment card: Immigration registration done before the visas.
- Visa sequence: Entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping booked in order.
- Tax registration: Corporate tax registration filed inside the deadline.
Documents Needed for Company Setup in Dubai South
Company setup in Dubai South needs passport copies and proof of address for every shareholder and manager, a short business plan, and corporate documents when a company is a shareholder. Your passport needs at least six months of validity left. Residence visas add a photo and the medical and biometric steps once you arrive.
Documents for Individual Shareholders
- Passport: A colour copy with at least six months of validity left.
- Proof of address: A recent utility bill or bank statement in your name.
- Visa or entry stamp: A copy if you are already in the UAE.
- Business plan: A short summary of activities, customers and markets.
- Contact details: Email and phone for the shareholder and the manager.
Short and accurate beats long. The zone and the bank want to see that the activities on the licence match the business you describe, and that the people behind the company are who they say they are.
Documents for Corporate Shareholders
A company shareholder adds its certificate of incorporation, its articles, a register of shareholders and directors, and a board resolution approving the new company. Documents from outside the UAE usually need attestation, so we list exactly which ones before you order them. The same KYC pack later opens the bank account, so we build it once and use it twice.

Dubai South Free Zone License Cost in 2026
The Dubai South free zone license cost starts at AED 12,500 with no visa, AED 16,350 with one visa and AED 18,200 with two visas, according to the Dubai South Business Hub's own pricing pages, last updated in October 2026. Each package includes the licence, the company documents and a flexi desk. Our company formation starts from €1,899.
Our price covers the structure and activity advice, the KYC pack, the name reservation, the application, the licence collection, the establishment card filing and the bank introduction. Zone and government fees are passed on as the zone charges them, and our fee is a separate line on your quote.
Cost item | When it is paid | Typical amount | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
Company incorporation with Binderr | Once, before filing | From €1,899 | Advice, KYC pack, name, application, licence, establishment card, bank introduction |
Zero-visa package | Each year | AED 12,500 | Licence, company documents, flexi desk |
One-visa package | Each year | AED 16,350 | As above, plus one visa allocation and its processing |
Two-visa package | Each year | AED 18,200 | As above, with two visa allocations |
Establishment card and health insurance | First year | Quoted with your setup | Immigration registration and the cover each visa holder needs |
Accounting and audit | Each year | Quoted with your setup | Bookkeeping and audited accounts where required |
Realistic first-year total | Year one | AED 12,500 to AED 18,200 plus our fee and extras | Depends on visas, space and accounting |
The packages make the Dubai South free zone license cost easy to compare, but the table shows why the total is never the headline alone. Visas are the biggest variable. The one-visa step adds AED 3,850, which Dubai South says covers the Emirates ID processing, the medical test and the residence stamp.
Dubai South Free Zone Fees Outside the Package
The Dubai South free zone fees outside the package are the establishment card, health insurance for each visa holder, dependant visas, office upgrades and accounting. Dubai South's own pages say the establishment card is still payable but do not publish the amount. Its pricing FAQ quotes employee visas from AED 3,500 and investor visas from AED 4,000. Plan a buffer of around 10% for incidental charges, as the zone itself suggests.
First-Year Cost by Company Profile
Company profile | Realistic first year | What drives the cost |
|---|---|---|
Founder abroad, no visa | AED 12,500 plus our fee | Licence and flexi desk only |
Founder moving to Dubai | AED 16,350 plus our fee and insurance | One residence visa and its medical and ID steps |
Small team of two | AED 18,200 plus our fee and insurance | Two visas on a flexi desk |
Trading company with stock | Quoted with your setup | Warehouse rent and the visas its size allows |
Regulated or special activity | Quoted separately | Outside approvals and extra documents |
These figures are planning ranges built from the zone's published packages. Renewal is due every year, and Dubai South does not publish a renewal price, so ask for the year-two figure with your first quote. Compare the total with the wider cost of business setup in the UAE.

How Long Dubai South Company Formation Takes
Setting up here is one of the fastest options in Dubai. The zone says the licence can be issued in one business day from a complete application, and its launch statement promised same-day licensing. Visa processing takes about 5 to 10 working days after the documents are in, and the bank account takes longer.
Stage | Typical time | What it depends on |
|---|---|---|
Planning and KYC file | 1 to 3 days | How quickly documents arrive |
Name check and application | Same day | A complete file |
Licence and company documents | 1 business day | Zone approval of a complete file |
Establishment card and visas | 5 to 10 working days | Medical test, biometrics and stamping |
Corporate tax registration | Within 3 months | Federal Tax Authority deadline |
Business bank account | Days with our partners, weeks at local banks | The bank's review |
The licence is rarely what slows a company down. Missing or unattested documents and the bank review are the usual causes of delay. A file that is complete on the first submission keeps the whole setup inside two to three weeks, visas included, and the account opens in days through our partners.
Timelines for Corporate Shareholders
A corporate shareholder adds attestation of its foreign documents, which can take one to several weeks depending on the country. Start that step first. We send the document list on day one, so the attestation runs while the rest of the file is prepared.
Dubai South Company Setup From €1,899
Our setup starts from €1,899, and the zone's packages start at AED 12,500.
- Clear pricing: Our fee and the zone fees on separate lines.
- Fast licence: A complete file means approval in about one business day.
- Visa planning: The right package for the visas you will actually use.
- Year-two estimate: Renewal planned with the first quote.
- Turnaround and scope: Licence, establishment card, visas and bank file in one service.
Tax and Compliance After Company Setup in Dubai South
A Dubai South company pays 0% corporate tax on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it, and a Qualifying Free Zone Person can pay 0% on qualifying income. Every company registers for corporate tax within three months of incorporation, registers for VAT above AED 375,000 of taxable supplies and renews its licence every year.
Corporate Tax and the Free Zone Rate
Cabinet Decision No. 116 of 2022 sets the 0% band up to AED 375,000 of taxable income, with 9% on the rest. Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 lets a Qualifying Free Zone Person pay 0% on qualifying income, if it meets the conditions: adequate substance in the zone, qualifying activities, no election to be taxed at the standard rate, and audited accounts. Income that does not qualify is taxed at 9%. We set the activities with these rules in mind.
VAT Registration
The Federal Tax Authority requires VAT registration once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 in 12 months, and allows voluntary registration from AED 187,500. VAT is 5%. Whether goods moving through your premises get any special VAT treatment depends on the exact location of the premises, so confirm it before you plan imports.
Audited Accounts and Records
Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025 requires audited financial statements from a Qualifying Free Zone Person, among others. Keep proper books from day one and keep financial records for seven years. A clean set of accounts also makes the bank's yearly review simple.
Ultimate Beneficial Owners and Renewal
Every UAE company keeps a register of its ultimate beneficial owners and files it with its licensing authority under Cabinet Decision No. 109 of 2023. The licence is renewed every year through the Business Hub portal, and late renewal brings fees. We track both dates for you.

Business Banking for Dubai South Companies
A Dubai South company can bank with a UAE bank or with our partners. UAE banks are thorough and often slow: Emirates NBD's Business Banking Schedule of Charges (June 2025) sets an AED 50,000 average balance on its Prime package, HSBC UAE asks for AED 20,000, and reviews can take weeks. Our partners open accounts in days.
The Dubai South Business Hub free zone lists corporate banking among its support services, and banks still run their own review. They look at the licence, the activities, the owners, the source of funds and the expected transactions. A new company with owners abroad and no trading history gets the most questions, and a refusal stays on record for the next application.
Mashreq NEO BIZ charges AED 99 or AED 199 a month instead of asking for a minimum balance, which helps a small company. It still expects a UAE trade licence and runs a full review. Read our guide on how to open a business bank account in Dubai.
A Faster Route Through Our Partners
We work with regulated partners that open multi-currency business accounts for UAE companies in days, fully remotely, with no minimum balance. We prepare the file the provider asks for: the licence, the company documents, the KYC pack and a clear description of the business. Client money is safeguarded in segregated accounts.
Feature | UAE banks | Our partners |
|---|---|---|
Time to open | Several weeks | Days with a complete file |
Minimum balance | Up to AED 50,000 on some packages | None |
Owners abroad | Often asked to visit or add a resident signatory | Remote onboarding |
Currencies | AED plus selected currencies | Several currencies on one account |
International payments | Charged per transfer | Set by your plan, shown before you pay |
For most new Dubai South companies the partner account is the quicker start, and a UAE bank can follow once the company has a trading history. Read more: multi-currency business bank account in the UAE and why banks reject business account applications.

Dubai South vs Meydan, DMCC and Cyprus
Dubai South sits in the middle on price and stands out on location and speed. Meydan matches its AED 12,500 entry licence, DMCC charges far more for a recognised commodities and trading address, and a Cyprus company gives you EU membership at 15% corporate tax. The right choice depends on where your customers and goods are.
Factor | Dubai South | Meydan | DMCC | Cyprus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Entry price | AED 12,500, no visa | AED 12,500, no visa | Packages from AED 35,484 | From €1,200 with us |
Corporate tax | 0% to AED 375,000, then 9% | 0% to AED 375,000, then 9% | 0% to AED 375,000, then 9% | 15% |
Known for | Airport and logistics corridor | Low-cost digital licences | Commodities and trading | EU access and treaties |
EU member | No | No | No | Yes |
Our price | From €1,899 | From €1,899 | From €1,899 | From €1,200 |
Time to incorporate | About 1 business day for the licence | Quoted with your setup | Quoted with your setup | About 1 week |
Dubai South and Meydan cost the same at entry, so the decision comes down to location and space. DMCC costs more and suits commodity and trading businesses that value its name. Cyprus suits companies that sell into the EU and need a European company rather than a UAE one.
Dubai South vs Meydan
Both start at AED 12,500 with no visa and run online. Choose Dubai South Business Park and its logistics areas if you need warehouses or a base near Al Maktoum airport and Jebel Ali Port. Choose Meydan for a pure service or online company that wants a central Dubai address. Read about Meydan free zone company formation.
Dubai South vs DMCC
DMCC's published packages start at AED 35,484, almost three times the Dubai South entry price. DMCC suits commodities, trading and firms that want its community. For logistics and aviation, Dubai South is the better fit at a lower cost. See DMCC company formation.
Dubai South vs Cyprus
A Cyprus company is inside the EU, pays 15% corporate tax and has a wide treaty network. It suits companies that invoice EU customers or need an EU address for banks and partners. A UAE free zone company suits the Gulf, Africa and Asia. Read our guide to Cyprus company formation.

Who a Dubai South Company Is Wrong For
A Dubai South company is the wrong choice if you mainly sell to UAE consumers from a shop, need a regulated financial licence, or want an EU company. Free zone companies usually reach the UAE market through a distributor or a mainland company, and regulated finance belongs in a financial free zone.
If most of your customers are inside the UAE and you want to invoice them directly, look at mainland company formation in Dubai. If you only need a company to hold shares or assets, an offshore or holding structure may cost less to run. If your buyers are in Europe, an EU company opens doors that a UAE licence does not.
The zone is also less suited to a founder who needs a large team on day one but only wants a desk. Visa allocations follow the space, so a big team needs a bigger office, and that changes the cost.
Common Mistakes When Setting Up in Dubai South
Most problems in a Dubai South setup come from the plan, not the zone. These are the mistakes we see most, each with what it costs and what to do instead.
Choosing the Package Before the Visa Plan
Founders often buy the zero-visa package and add a visa three months later. Dubai South quotes visas from AED 3,500 to AED 4,000 each, and a later visa also means repeating the immigration steps. Decide how many people need residence in year one before you pick the package. If one person will move to Dubai, the AED 16,350 package usually costs less than adding a visa later.
Ignoring the Customs and VAT Question
Trading companies sometimes assume every free zone treats imported goods the same way. The treatment depends on the exact premises, and getting it wrong can mean VAT on goods you expected to move without it. Ask the question before you sign a warehouse lease, not after the first shipment.
Picking Activities That Do Not Match the Business
A licence that does not match what you actually sell causes problems at the bank, because the bank compares your transactions with your activities. Fixing it later means an amendment and a new bank review. Write down what you sell, to whom and how you get paid, then choose the activities from that list.
Missing the Corporate Tax Registration Deadline
New companies have three months from incorporation to register for corporate tax, and late registration brings a penalty. Many founders forget because they have no profit yet. Registration is required regardless of profit. We file it with the setup so the deadline never comes up.
Leaving the Bank Account to the End
Some founders finish the licence and visas and only then start on the bank. A new company with no account cannot invoice or pay its fees. Start the bank file the day the licence is issued. Our partners can open an account in days once the documents are in.
Plan Your Dubai South Company With One Team
A Dubai South company goes right when the package, the visas and the bank are planned together. Tell us what you sell and where, and we build the plan.
- Package matched to visas: No paying twice for a visa added later.
- Activities that fit: Chosen to match how you trade and get paid.
- Customs question answered: Before you sign a warehouse lease.
- Deadlines tracked: Corporate tax, renewal and records.
- Advisory call: €30, credited against your setup within 30 days.
Bottom Line
The Dubai South freezone is one of the clearest options in Dubai: published packages from AED 12,500, a digital setup through the Dubai South Business Hub and a registered address in Dubai South Business Park, between Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port. It suits logistics, aviation, trading, e-commerce and service companies that want a fast licence and a known price.
Plan the visas, the space and the bank account before you pay for a package, and ask for the renewal figure with the first quote. With us, your company formation starts from €1,899, zone fees are passed on as published, and one team handles the licence, the visas and the account.
