Business Consulting Services in Dubai
Know your real cost first. Decide with confidence.
Most setup quotes show the license sticker, not the real number. Use the calculator to see your indicative first-year cost — license, workspace, and compliance — on screen in 2 minutes, no waiting for a callback. A Sky Sigma advisor then confirms your exact quote in writing. You register with the relevant authority; we compare your options, prepare each step, and keep your books running from day one.
Sky Sigma is a private accounting & advisory firm — not a government entity. Official company registration is carried out by the relevant UAE authority.

What UAE Business Setup Really Costs
The advertised license price is rarely the full number. Here is the honest first-year picture for a typical 1–2 owner free zone consulting company.
Included in every setup engagement
- First 3 months bookkeeping (AED 3,000 value)
- Corporate Tax registration support
- VAT assessment
- Bank-account opening support
Indicative ranges, last verified July 2026. Official fees are set and charged by the relevant free zone or authority — not by Sky Sigma.
A License Broker Sells You a License. We Build a Company That Lasts.
The difference shows up after the license prints.
A typical setup broker
- Paid the moment your license prints
- Advertises a license-only sticker price
- Extras appear after you commit
- Gone by your first tax deadline
Sky Sigma
- Earns its keep after setup — the same team runs your books, VAT and Corporate Tax
- Quotes the full first-year number upfront, in writing
- Every cost mapped before you spend a dirham
- FTA-Approved Tax Agent, still here at filing time

Setting Up Is Easy. Operating Compliantly Is Not.
The UAE crossed one million active business licenses in 2025 — getting licensed has never been easier, which is exactly why the setup industry competes on sticker price. The low package prices you see advertised are real, but they are license-only numbers: no processing extras, no workspace, and none of the compliance a company legally needs from the moment it exists. That gap between the sticker and reality is where first-year budgets blow up.
The compliance layer is where new founders actually get hurt. Corporate Tax registration is mandatory for every company — including free zone entities — and missing the deadline costs AED 10,000 before you have earned a dirham. Cross the VAT threshold without registering and penalties compound. Operate in a DNFBP sector — real estate, precious metals, corporate services — and AML obligations apply too, with fines from AED 50,000. None of this appears in a license-only quote, because the seller is paid when the license prints.
Sky Sigma approaches setup as your future accountants, because that is what we are. The structure we recommend is the one we will have to live with when we run your books, VAT, and Corporate Tax: correct activity wording, a banking-ready KYC file, tax deadlines mapped before they bite, and bookkeeping live from day one. Start with the calculator above — the indicative number is on screen in two minutes, and a licensed advisor confirms your exact quote in writing.
