FAQs

What does it cost?

Anyone quoting you a single figure without seeing your business is guessing. What we can do is show you the four components so you know whether a quote you receive is complete or is missing most of the project.

What matters

Worth understanding before you decide anything

If you take four things away from this page, make them these.

1Provider fees are the visible part

Setup, subscription and often per-document charges. Usually the smallest component for a mid-sized business.

2Software is the biggest variable

Upgrading a modern system may cost little. Replacing a spreadsheet process or an old package costs considerably more.

3Integration scales with complexity

Number of systems, quality of their interfaces, number of invoice types and volume of exceptions all drive this.

4Internal time is real cost

Data cleanup, testing and training consume your team's hours whether or not anyone invoices you for them.

Practical steps

Your practical to-do list

None of this is technical. All of it saves time later.

GoldenKey e-Invoice · in development

We are building our own e-invoicing app — and the ERP and CRM around it

Our e-invoicing product is being built now, alongside the ERP, CRM and accounting systems our technology team already runs for UAE clients. Early-access clients get their requirements built into the core rather than bolted on afterwards, which is genuinely better for them and better for the product. Start with invoicing and add the rest when your business actually needs it.

Reports that answer questionsOutstanding by customer, VAT summary by period, revenue by branch or salesperson.
API for your existing stackIf you already run an ERP or a shop system, we integrate rather than replace.
Import your historyExisting customers and open invoices moved across from Excel, Tally, Zoho or QuickBooks.
Works on mobileIssue and check invoices from a phone — useful for site, showroom and delivery teams.
Hosted or on your own serverRun it on our hosting or inside your own environment if your policy requires it.
Arabic & EnglishDocuments and interface in both, since UAE counterparties ask for both.
Built and supported locallyDesigned and maintained by our own team in the UAE and India — you talk to the people who built it.
Structured invoice outputEvery invoice is produced as structured data mapped to the PINT AE field set, not a PDF with a logo on it.
Connects to your ASPWe wire your system to the Accredited Service Provider you appoint, so the exchange happens through the approved channel.

GoldenKey is a business setup and compliance consultancy. We are not a Ministry of Finance Accredited Service Provider, and we do not claim to be one. Our software is built to work alongside the ASP you appoint. Scope, timelines and pricing are agreed in writing before any work starts.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked

Short, practical answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly — we answer even if you never become a client.

How much does e-invoicing cost in the UAE?

There is no single figure. Provider fees, software, integration and internal time all vary with your size and complexity. We give indicative pricing in writing after seeing your setup.

Which part usually costs the most?

For most mid-sized businesses, integration and data cleanup together exceed the provider fees comfortably.

How do I compare quotes fairly?

Make sure every quote covers all four components. A cheap quote that only covers provider fees is not cheaper, it is incomplete.
