Free zones · Dubai
Dubai South is a Dubai Government project launched in 2006, a 145-square-kilometre master-planned city built around Al Maktoum International Airport, calling itself The City of You. Its free zone lives inside an integrated ecosystem of aviation, logistics, business and modern living: setup, licensing, visas and permits under a single authority, with districts spanning logistics, the MBR Aerospace Hub, commercial property and retail. For businesses built on movement (cargo, fulfilment, aviation), this is the zone that grew up around the runway.
Logistics, fulfilment, aviation and light industrial: businesses built on movement, at home around the runway.
What your Dubai South setup costs depends on what your business does, who needs a visa and how you want to start. So instead of a one-size number, the Founder’s Copilot builds your exact setup and shows every dirham on its own line, licence, government fees and our fee, before you speak to anyone.
Describe your business in your own words. The Founder’s Copilot finds the licensed activities behind it and prices your setup line by line, with nothing hidden. When a zone feels right, everything is confirmed in writing before engagement, and your Company Hub tracks the whole journey from application to licence.
Dubai South is one of ten zones the Copilot prices in real time. If it fits your business, you’ll see exactly why. If another zone fits better, you’ll see that too.
Zone details evolve. Anything that affects your setup is confirmed in writing before engagement.
