Is there an IFZA multi-year discount?
Yes — IFZA offers roughly 10–15% off a 2-year licence and 20–25% off a 3-year licence, paid upfront. For founders certain of staying, the 3-year licence is the best value.
What is included in an IFZA package price?
The IFZA government licence (up to 3 activities), establishment card, the visa quota you select, and the ArxSetup professional fee (KYC, filing, bank introductions). Medical and Emirates ID per person are itemised separately.
Which IFZA package do most founders choose?
Solo founders typically take the zero-visa or one-visa package; small teams take three-visa. The six-visa package is the flexi-desk maximum before a private-office upgrade is required.
Is IFZA cheaper than Meydan or DMCC?
IFZA and Meydan start at a similar price (around AED 12,900 zero-visa); IFZA is typically AED 1,000–2,000 cheaper on multi-year terms. DMCC is materially more expensive (from USD 17,800) but has stronger banking and a mandatory office.
