Sponsorshop and work visas are entwined, so I assume you mean that the company will expect your husband to do the legwork at the government department as opposed to having the company PRO deal with it? The company ought to cover the costs.

It isn't that hard a process and is covered in Dubai Explorer (as I keep posting, everyone should have a copy). Just be prepared to have to spend a lot of time in queues.
