JAFZA Packages & Pricing Tiers

How the tiers ladder

Authority packages at JAFZA ladder along two axes: visa count and premises tier. The entry rung (from AED 56,210) suits solo founders and holding-style operations; mid rungs add residencies; top rungs bundle offices for teams.

We quote the tier your actual plan requires and show the adjacent rungs, priced, so the trade-offs sit on one page.

What the file actually contains

JAFZA asks for less paper than founders expect. The standard file:

Corporate shareholders add attested certificates of incorporation, memoranda and board resolutions — the attestation chain is the schedule-setter, so we start it first

Getting banked, properly

Banking deserves its own paragraph, because it decides more launches than licensing does. Compliance teams underwrite three things: the credibility of your activity wording, the substance behind the address, and the story your expected flows tell. JAFZA's licences clear onboarding routinely when those three are prepared in advance.

Our banking desk builds the file the way reviewers read it; that discipline — not luck — is what a 98% approval rate is made of.

The market backdrop

Specialisation in logistics, manufacturing, trade pays off operationally: the authority's reviewers know these activities, the neighbouring tenants are your ecosystem, and banks have an existing book of similar files.

Advisor’s note

“Two-year totals end most arguments about JAFZA. Arithmetic is the most persuasive consultant in this office.”

What next November costs

With entry licensing from AED 56,210, renewal is re-quoted fresh each year — WhatsApp GoldenKey for the current written renewal figure. Add insurance renewals and the establishment card, and diarise sixty days early: authorities forgive nothing about lateness, and a frozen licence blocks every visa transaction the company needs.

Prepaying 2–3 years earns 10–20% discounts at several authorities — usually correct for stable holding structures.

What the FTA expects

As a free zone entity, a JAFZA company can hold the 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income as a QFZP — provided substance, audited accounts and de-minimis conditions hold; otherwise the standard 9% applies above AED 375,000 of profit. Registration with the FTA is mandatory regardless of profit level, and the late-registration penalty is a flat AED 10,000.

We pair every formation with a tax onboarding: registrations done, books structured to IFRS basis, deadlines diarised.
