About FreezoneMatch
Built by founders who went through the same process you're facing now.
Why we built this
When we set up our own businesses in the UAE, we spent weeks comparing freezones — spreadsheets, agent calls, conflicting advice, hidden fees. Every "free consultation" turned out to be a sales pitch from someone earning commission on the freezone they recommended.
FreezoneMatch exists because that process is broken. We built the tool we wished we had: a data-driven comparison engine that scores 52 freezones against your actual needs — without anyone trying to sell you a specific answer.
How it works
Our matching algorithm evaluates every freezone across five weighted dimensions:
- Activity match (25%) — Does the freezone support your business type?
- Budget fit (20%) — Is Year 1 cost within your range?
- Your priorities (30%) — Cost, speed, banking, prestige, flexibility, visa capacity
- Timeline (15%) — Can they set up in your timeframe?
- Visa capacity (10%) — Do they support the visas you need?
The result: a ranked shortlist with match percentages, specific reasons, and transparent cost data — so you can make an informed decision.
How we make money
Transparency matters. Here's how FreezoneMatch is funded:
- We may earn referral fees from freezones when users proceed with setup through our recommended partners
- We offer optional premium advisory services for founders who want hands-on guidance
- Our matching algorithm is never influenced by commercial relationships — your matches are based purely on your answers
The matching tool itself is — and will remain — 100% free. No signup required.
Our data
Freezone data is sourced from official zone websites, published tariff documents, and verified against official pricing schedules. We currently cover 52 freezones across all seven emirates.
All cost data includes "as of" dates. We verify and update pricing quarterly. If you spot an error, let us know — accuracy is everything.
What we are not
FreezoneMatch is an information and comparison platform. We are not:
- A licensed business setup consultancy
- A legal, tax, or financial advisor
- Affiliated with any specific freezone authority
We provide tools and data to help you evaluate your options. For legal or tax decisions, always consult a qualified professional.
