How the estimate is built
What the figures include
- Firms' figures are starting prices published by firms listed on Accountanty, read from their websites in October 2026: the range runs from the lower to the upper quartile, with at least 8 firms; "from" means 5 to 7 firms; below 5 the price is on request.
- Official fees are added up only for the base option named in the breakdown. Other options and fees that apply only in some cases are listed separately.
- Euro amounts are approximate: Euro equivalents at the ECB reference rate of 2026-10-22; AED and SAR via their US dollar pegs.
- A lawyer is mandatory for registration, so the firm's formation service is counted as required.
