What you get
Every DMCS quote is all-in. It covers the whole setup, from license to bank account, with no fees added later. Here is what your number pays for.
The three routes
Here is where every dirham goes in a standard mainland setup. These are the same figures behind the estimator, current for 2026, so your quote holds no surprises.
For eligible professional or commercial activities. No office needed in year one, so this is the cheapest way on. Ejari required from year two.
A professional or commercial license, a serviced desk with Ejari, and one investor visa. Where most founders begin.
A full office, more visas, or a regulated activity needing extra approvals. Priced to your exact setup.
The routes above are ranges. Send us your activity, office and visa count and we return a fixed, itemized figure.
Every figure is indicative and current for 2026, covering year-one setup. Government fees, office rent, visas and a market fee of 5% of annual rent repeat each year, so budget for renewal too. DMCS gives you a fixed, itemized written quote before you commit.

Same figures as the estimator
The instant range and this breakdown use one set of 2026 rates, so your quote holds no surprises.
Renewal shown up front
Government fees, rent, visas and the 5% market fee repeat yearly. We show year two.
Three things move your quote up or down. The biggest swing is your activity: regulated work carries a second layer of government approval that adds both cost and time.

Cheaper, faster route
If your activity qualifies, DET's Instant License is the fastest and cheapest way onto the mainland in 2026. It issues your trade license in minutes and lets you skip the office for your first year, which takes a big chunk off your year-one cost.
Estimate vs written quote
The estimator gives you an instant range so you can plan. A written quote is exact, fixed and tailored to your business. Both are free.
Use the estimator to plan and the written quote to commit. The estimate gets you a range in seconds; the written quote prices your exact activity and any approvals, and shows year two so nothing surprises you later.
Why DMCS
Plenty of sites give you a number and vanish. We give you an honest, itemized quote and a real person to talk it through. No license-only figure dressed up as a total, and no obligation to proceed.
The advertised package almost always quotes the license alone. We put the whole setup on the quote, license to bank account, and show any cost that could vary up front, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Your quote covers the full setup, not just the license. Any cost that could vary is shown up front, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
The estimator is a starting point. A DET-licensed advisor reviews your activity, gives you an exact quote and answers your questions directly.
One desk runs your trade name, license, visas and bank application, with a single point of contact throughout. The written quote is free, with no obligation.
Tell us four things and we send your itemized quote, usually the same day. An honest, all-in number for your exact business, prepared by a DET-licensed consultant. Free, with no obligation to proceed.
