Formenzo gives you the honest all-in price for every free zone, and lets you start online.
For a Pakistani business owner, the UAE is the closest, most efficient place to hold a 100%-owned international company and trade across the Gulf.

Pakistani entrepreneurs looking at UAE company setup are usually choosing between a free zone and the mainland. For most — in trading, e-commerce, IT services and consulting — a free zone fits best: 100% ownership, a clean all-in cost, and a straightforward residence visa.
The decisions are which free zone, how many visas, and your activity — which our cost calculator makes transparent. After the licence, the practical next steps are your UAE corporate bank account and residence visa; if you’re remitting funds from Pakistan, read our guide on source-of-funds evidence.
Important for Pakistani residents: remitting or investing abroad is subject to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) foreign-exchange rules, and your UAE income may have implications under FBR tax rules depending on your residency. Formenzo is not a financial, legal or tax adviser — please confirm your position with a chartered accountant in Pakistan.
Pakistani founders watching costs usually start with Ajman NuVentures (from AED 4,888) or RAKEZ; for trading and general commerce, SPC Free Zone in Sharjah has one of the widest activity lists. Meydan and IFZA cover those who need a Dubai presence.
Money & tax back home. The UAE charges 0% personal income tax. Moving funds between Pakistan and the UAE is routine through UAE banks, but your Pakistani tax position depends on your residence status there — confirm with a Pakistani tax adviser before you proceed.
The UAE is home to a very large Pakistani community, so banking, remittances and relocation are familiar, well-supported processes.
Yes. In a UAE free zone a Pakistani founder owns 100% — no local partner or sponsor. Ownership, profits and capital are fully yours.
Real all-in prices start from AED 4,888 for a licence-only setup, rising by visa count — one all-in figure per free zone, with no hidden charges.
The licence is issued remotely. A short visit is usually only needed for the medical and Emirates ID if you take a residence visa.
Remitting abroad is governed by State Bank of Pakistan rules and UAE income may matter for FBR depending on residency. We’re not tax advisers — confirm with a chartered accountant in Pakistan.
