Common questions

Common questions.

Is this all-in, or are there fees on top?

The price is all-in for our service. Government fees (free-zone authority, visa, Emirates ID, medical) pass through at cost. We disclose the exact number on your proposal. No markup.

What happens in year 2?

Year 1 covers setup. Year 2+ is renewal only. Licence and ongoing services. Significantly less than year 1. We send the renewal proposal 60 days before the licence expires.

Can I start on Launch and upgrade?

Yes. Most founders start on Launch. Move to Grow once revenue lands. We pro-rate.

Which tier do I actually need?

Run the 5-min diagnostic. We email you the fit and the cost. One business day.

Refunds?

If we screw up the formation, we refund the formation portion. Wrong jurisdiction, wrong entity, wrong address. Full terms on /legal/guarantee.

Not sure?

Five minutes in the diagnostic. We match you to the right tier. Emailed in one business day.

Client stories

150+ setups. Here’s what a few of them say.

One challenge we ran into as a Dutch IT consultancy was that our end client refused to pay directly to a UAE entity. StartSmart arranged an intermediary party that receives the payments in the Netherlands and pays them out to our UAE company — clean, simple, and our client was immediately comfortable with it. For any IT consultancy serious about operating from the UAE, StartSmart is the partner you want by your side.
