Why “Cheap” Business Setup in Dubai Can Cost You More
Avoid Launching Your Business on the Wrong Foot – How a "Cheap" Business Setup in Dubai Can End Up Costing More
The Harsh Truth About Low-Cost Business Setup in the UAE
Starting a business in Dubai is exciting, but many new entrepreneurs fall into the trap of choosing the cheapest business setup packages advertised online. You’ve probably seen them:
“Start your company in Dubai from AED 2,499!”“License without visa or office – only AED 3,000!”“1-day business setup in UAE!”
Sounds easy, right? But what you don’t see is what happens after you pay.
Why You Should Avoid the Cheapest Business Setup Offers
Here’s what many people don’t realize until it’s too late:
❌ Hidden Charges: The advertised price only covers part of the cost. Visa fees, office rent, or additional approvals will be added later.
❌ No Real Office (Ejari): You’ll often receive a license without a legal office address, which makes opening a bank account or applying for a visa nearly impossible.
❌ No Eligibility for Residence Visa or Corporate Bank Account
❌ Mismatch in Business Activity: You may end up with a trade license that doesn’t legally cover what you do.
❌ Zero Post-Setup Support: These setups often don’t include PRO services, visa processing, or annual renewal support.
❌ Your Business Will Not Be Sustainable. You’ll end up spending more later to fix it — or worse, start from scratch.
Ask Yourself Honestly: Why Do You Want the Cheapest Setup?
This is your future business, not a quick side project. If you're serious about building something real, long-term, and compliant, you need a real strategy and the right foundation.
Here’s what we tell every client at Amazon Attestation Services
"If you want a real business in the UAE, you need a real plan — and a realistic budget for at least one year."
Success Takes Time, Not Just a License
Some people believe that once they get a license, success will follow. But the reality is:
Most startups fail due to a lack of planning, not licensing.
Cheap setups often offer no structure, no growth path, and no support.
You need brand building, proper office space, marketing, legal support, and financial planning.
