ADGM vs DIFC: UAE Financial Free Zones in 2026
Comparison of ADGM and DIFC financial free zones, detailing costs, licensing options, and best-fit scenarios for 2026 founders.
The exact change
UAE founders register UK limited companies with Companies House online via the Web Incorporation Service for GBP 50, completing in 24 hours... UK Ltd post-registration: GBP 34 annual confirmation statement.
UAE founders register UK limited companies with Companies House online via the Web Incorporation Service for GBP 100 (following the fee increase effective 1 February 2026), completing in 24 hours... UK Ltd post-registration: GBP 50 annual confirmation statement.
Suggested change
Corrected the UK Companies House incorporation fee, which had been listed as GBP 50/34 in two longtail sections; the current fee (effective February 2026) is GBP 100/50.
Why this is better
Companies House raised UK incorporation and confirmation statement fees effective 1 February 2026, so the two longtail sections referencing the older GBP 50/34 fee structure needed updating to the current GBP 100/50 amounts.
