Find your best UAE business setup
Seven questions about your business. You see the recommended route, the candidate jurisdictions, the licence type and what would change the answer, before you give us a single detail about yourself.
Setup assessment
The recommendation follows a fixed decision table written with AIZAA's advisers; no AI model generates the advice. Regulated activities get no zone recommendation and go straight to a specialist. Indicative guidance based on your answers, confirmed after a conversation with an adviser.
Why an assessment first
The structure is the real decision. The licence is paperwork.
Most costly UAE setup mistakes are made before the licence is issued: a free zone licence for mainland sales, too few visas on the package, the wrong activity. Each is cheaper to avoid than to undo.

- Candidate jurisdictionsOnly zones we have profiled on this site, with what each suits and what it does not.
