Founders with more than one venture eventually want a clean structure over the top: one company that holds the others. The UAE licenses this under official activity names for holding and enterprise investment. Verified Setups shows you those activities and the zones that license them; the conversation about your structure comes first, and your itemised price before any commitment.

Before the price, the honest part.

A holding company holds shares in your own companies and assets. It is not a licence to offer investments or financial services to the public. Structure matters more than speed here. Talk to us first and we’ll map yours before you pay anything.

The licence behind it.

These are the official licensed activities our engine maps to holding company: the exact names the authorities use, and every zone writes its own list in its own words. Our engine recognises them as one business, so your setup is built on the real activity behind it, not a guess. Where a zone’s own record notes an authority approval for an activity, it’s shown beside that zone: the licence is priced now, and an approval’s fee is scoped with you when it applies.

Where it’s licensed.

Free zones on our platform whose official activity lists cover this business, with each zone’s own licence-only starting price.
