Formenzo publishes UAE free-zone licence and visa scenarios — and scraps the mandatory sales call

The UAE business-setup platform lists licence-and-visa costs for nine free zones in full, from AED 4,888, breaking with an industry norm of "from" prices and forced callbacks.

Formenzo, a UAE-licensed business-setup platform, has made public licence and visa comparison scenarios across nine verified free zones; final authority line items, requirements and availability are confirmed before payment. block in a single figure, with no requirement to book a call or submit a form to see the price.

Pricing across the industry is typically advertised as a "from" figure that rises once visas, activities and government fees are added at the consultation stage. Formenzo publishes comparison scenarios: a licence-only scenario starts at AED 4,888 (Ajman NuVentures Centre), a freelance permit with a residence visa starts at AED 10,800, and a Dubai-registered licence starts at AED 12,500 (Meydan Free Zone). Each figure is an itemised estimate; the secure portal shows the reviewed total and its confirmed validity date before payment.

"Most people researching a UAE company can't get a straight price without handing over their number and waiting for a sales call. We think that's backwards. So we published every figure — licence, government fees and the visa — and removed the callback entirely. If a customer wants to talk, they reach us; we never cold-call." — Jo An Bito Onon, Founder, Formenzo

The UAE remains one of the world's most active markets for new company formation, helped by 100% foreign ownership in free zones, 0% personal income tax, and a 9% corporate-tax rate that applies only above AED 375,000 of profit. Formenzo's platform lets founders compare the nine zones side by side, run a cost calculator for their exact setup, and complete the process online.
