How to set up a business in a UAE free zone?

Setting up a business in a UAE free zone involves several steps. You typically need a trade license, initial approval from the free zone authority, and a lease for office space. Costs can range from AED 10,000 to AED 50,000 depending on the free zone and type of business. As someone who established a company in Dubai Airport Freezone, I found the process straightforward but having the right documents ready is crucial.
