The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in JLT: repeatedly named Global Free Zone of the Year and home to 25,000+ companies.

Its brand strength materially helps with corporate banking, international counterparties and premium clients, and its ecosystem includes dedicated centres for diamonds, tea, coffee, gold and crypto.

A DMCC business setup gives you a 100% foreign-owned company inside the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, the emirate’s largest and most decorated free zone, repeatedly named Global Free Zone of the Year. Whether you trade physical commodities, run a consultancy, or operate a fintech or Web3 venture, DMCC business setup lets you licence the activity, sponsor UAE residence visas and open a corporate bank account from a single prestigious JLT address.
DMCC approves 1,000+ business activities across roughly 20 sectors, from gold, diamonds, tea and coffee to crypto, AI and logistics, and you can combine compatible activities under one licence. Most companies are structured as a DMCC Free Zone LLC with a declared share capital (commonly AED 50,000), full 100% foreign ownership and complete repatriation of capital and profits.
Budget roughly AED 22,000 to 34,000 for year one of a DMCC business setup, covering the licence, registration and a flexi-desk, before residence visas. Your final cost depends on the licence type, the number of visas, and whether you take a flexi-desk (up to 3 visas) or a physical JLT office for larger visa quotas. DMCC runs frequent package promotions, so we always quote the live offer rather than a list price.
Once your documents are in order, DMCC typically issues the e-licence within about two weeks. Residence visas, including the establishment card, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and visa stamping, usually add a further two to three weeks.
