The Startup Zone

About The Startup Zone

Positioned as a startup-oriented setup consultancy on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, this business helps entrepreneurs obtain a trade licence in either a free zone or the UAE mainland. Its website emphasises published price lists for Sharjah, Dubai and Ajman free zones, a promise of no service fee on free zone formation and a cost calculator. The firm says it has supported thousands of founders and highlights its Google reviews. A four-step journey is described: gathering shareholder and manager details, licence issuance in roughly one working week, residence visas with medical tests and Emirates ID, and corporate bank account introductions. Once a company exists, the same team offers bookkeeping, VAT registration and corporate tax assistance, import and export code registration, product registration and PRO paperwork. Target customers include start-ups, e-commerce sellers, consultants, traders and international businesses seeking full foreign ownership. No named partners, team size or language offering is shown on the site, which appears to operate from a single Dubai office.
