Commercials, films, corporate video, content for brands: production work needs a licence that genuinely covers it, and every UAE authority writes that licence in its own official words. Verified Setups maps those official activity names for you, shows which free zones license them, and prices your exact setup line by line, before you commit to anything.

The licence behind it.

These are the official licensed activities our engine maps to video & film production: 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.
