Mainland or Free Zone? Questions to Ask Before You Choose
Choosing a company setup route starts with understanding how your business will operate. A headline package price cannot answer every question.
Start with the activity
Write down the services or products you plan to offer. Ask whether each proposed activity is included in the licence scope and whether additional approvals may be required.
Map your customers and operations
Explain where your customers are, how you will deliver your work and whether you need physical premises. Ask the relevant authority or your advisor to confirm permissions for your intended model.
Compare the whole setup
Review workspace needs, shareholders, visa requirements, banking application documents and any ongoing administration. These details affect the route you should assess.
Ask about recurring costs
Request both the initial setup scope and the expected renewal components. Understand what is included, what is optional and which costs depend on your circumstances.
Make the comparison useful
Bring the same requirements to each proposal so you can compare like for like. Contact Biz & Viz to discuss a scope around your intended activity and operations.
