| Where is the zone? | IFZA and Meydan Free Zone are Dubai zones. RAKEZ is in Ras Al Khaimah. Location affects client perception, office access and logistics. | Each zone's official site |

| How many visas can I get? | The visa quota and the cost per visa change the real total. | The zone's package page |
| What office options exist? | Some banks and some clients expect a physical address, not only a flexi desk. | The zone and the bank |
| Will my bank accept it? | Bank appetite depends on activity, ownership, source of funds and substance, not only on the zone name. | Ask the bank before you buy |
| What does year two cost? | Renewal, visa renewal and audit can erase a low first-year price. | The renewal section of each fee page |
| Can I leave easily? | Cancellation or transfer rules differ and affect your exit cost. | The zone's cancellation procedure |
