The biggest challenge for start-ups is to save as much as it is possible at the start of the business.
Although it is a common concern, it might bring you to more expenses.
The most important is to find the right people to work with (UAE is known for being the best place for scammers and cheaters).
Local Authorities and Local Sponsors are the only want who are willing to cooperate and to help you in finding the solutions for your business.
By starting a company with low budget you can face several problems, the most common are:
1. they will not give the full information regarding the necessary approvals from authorities and for documentation required, it will lead to new costs during the business set-up process.
2. they will provide you with "virtual office" - it is legal only for free zones (they have their rules and business regulations), outside free zone it is ILLEGAL to have a company without a physical office.
3. they can provide you with PRO services that will lead to delays and lots of fines to the government.
4. If the business set-up company is not transparent, in can lead to block in immigration or labor of your company due to Sponsor File problems (some sponsors have too many companies and have no time to solve upcoming problems for each of them, having one company blocked, will lead to checking of all other companies and blocking them for the smallest reasons like moving to other office).

These are only some things that you might consider by "paying less" for your business set-up
