    Vue d'ensemble

    Dubai South Business Hub Free Zone is a separate operating entity that sits within the wider Dubai South development. It is not the same as Dubai South Free Zone (DWC) — the Business Hub publishes its own packages and tariff, with a transparent, tool-led setup experience built on a cost calculator and side-by-side package comparison. Like other UAE free zones, it allows 100% foreign ownership and access to the standard free-zone tax framework, where qualifying income earned by a Qualifying Free Zone Person may fall under the 0% Corporate Tax rate subject to economic substance and the conditions set by the Federal Tax Authority. Most starter packages are built around a flexi-desk rather than a physical office, which keeps entry costs lower and is generally sufficient for visa processing and correspondence on service activities. The Business Hub tends to suit founders who value an estimate-first planning flow and a structured roadmap as they scale, particularly in consulting, services and lighter operating models. Banking onboarding is generally described as smoother, but outcomes still depend on documentation quality, a clear transaction narrative and your underlying business model rather than the zone label alone. Compare carefully against Meydan, IFZA and DMCC across brand, speed, activity breadth and total cost stack rather than the headline starter figure. As with any zone, confirm current pricing, activity availability and visa allocations directly with the authority before committing.

    Final cost depends on activity, package, registration, workspace/facility, visas, establishment card, immigration file and current offer validity.

    Prices are indicative and may change without notice. Final setup cost depends on business activity, licence type, legal structure, shareholder count, visa allocation, office/facility requirement, establishment card, immigration file, medical, Emirates ID, insurance, approvals, government fees, renewal terms and current authority offers. Always verify the final quote with the relevant authority or authorised partner before payment.

    Considérations visa & bureau

    Visas

    Up to 6 visa allocations per licence depending on your package. Visa processing typically takes 5–10 additional business days after licence issuance.

    Bureau

    Most packages include a flexi-desk, which is sufficient for visa processing and correspondence. No physical office is required for most service activities.

    Visa eligibility and quota depend on licence type, package, facility, establishment card, immigration file, authority rules and immigration approval.
    Free-zone companies are within the UAE Corporate Tax regime. A 0% Corporate Tax rate may apply only to Qualifying Income earned by a Qualifying Free Zone Person that meets the required conditions. It is not automatic.

    Réalités bancaires & KYC

    Business Hub licence holders generally experience smoother banking onboarding. Banking/KYC depends heavily on documentation and transaction narrative. Set renewal reminders and a compliance baseline on day one.
