ANC Free Zone Packages & Prices 2026

ANC's AED 4,888 entry is the cheapest published company formation figure in the country, and unlike most headline rates it renews at the same competitive level — there is no year-two surprise built into the model. The renewal schedule is actually where ANC quietly wins: a one-visa company renews at the zone’s current tariff — ask us for the exact figure against a AED 10,800 setup, a two-visa at AED 13,950 against AED 16,200, and the gap keeps widening up the tiers. That inverted structure — renewals cheaper than setup — is the opposite of how budget zones usually price, and it makes ANC one of the few jurisdictions where the three-year total cost of ownership is lower than the first-year quote suggests. The trade-offs are real but narrow: no included office space on entry packages and a smaller activity list than the big Sharjah zones. For consultants, freelancers and lean trading setups that need a legitimate UAE base at minimum sustained cost, this is the benchmark every other quote should be measured against.
