Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the total cost to start a company in Dubai Healthcare City?
A complete DHCC setup typically combines the license package, visa allocations, medical + Emirates ID fees and your chosen facility. Because activity and visa count change the number, GoldenKey issues a fixed written quotation with every government fee itemised before you commit.
Are there hidden charges in DHCC setup packages?
Not with GoldenKey. Your quotation is binding and itemised — government fees, our service fee and any facility costs are shown line by line. The number never changes mid-process.
Can I pay for my DHCC license in instalments?
Yes — we accept Tabby (pay in 4) and Tamara (split payments) alongside cards, bank transfer and cash, so you can spread the cost of your Dubai Healthcare City setup.
What ongoing costs should I expect after setup in DHCC?
Plan for annual license renewal, facility renewal, visa renewals on their cycle (typically every 2 years), and corporate tax/VAT compliance where applicable. GoldenKey's renewal calendar tracks every deadline for you.
Is DHCC cheaper than a Dubai mainland license?
It depends on your activity, visa needs and facility. Free zone packages are often leaner for service and trading businesses, while mainland suits UAE-wide retail and government contracts. Our advisors run both numbers side by side in your consultation.
