1. Which Freezone is the cheapest?
If you are asking about the UAE then Ajman and RAK are compartively cheaper.
2. Do you have to rent an office or can you rent a work station?
You can just have a desk in most of them, again might differ in different free zones i know DIC for sure you can have just a desk.
3. How many extra visas do you get?
The number of visas is always tied up with the amount of space you rent. If you get a desk you get one visa if you get a small office you get 3 and so on.
4. Approx. costs for Freezone setup?
varies on which freezone .. I know DIC has a program called first steps which can get you up and running at 65,000 dirhams for the first year. But i know DIC also has a huge issues of lack of office space. You really have to contact them to get a clearer picture, most of the freezones will have nice salesmen/women.
Remember, I'm trying to start a SERVICES business not a Trading company.
Actually the concept of freezone is that you technically cant invoice and sell goods. So ya it would have to be a representative office or a services company.
