Business Setup
Free Zone Company Formation
Every free zone has its own cost base, activity list, visa quotas and credibility with banks. Choosing well at the start saves years of workarounds. We compare zones against your actual requirements and run the incorporation.
Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% customs within the zone, straightforward repatriation of profits and, where conditions are met, qualifying free zone person treatment under UAE corporate tax. The trade-off is that each zone suits a different profile: DMCC for commodities and trading, DIFC for financial services, IFZA and Meydan for cost-efficient services businesses, JAFZA for logistics, RAKEZ for light industry.
We shortlist zones against your activity, visa needs, banking expectations and budget, then handle registration, licensing, flexi-desk or office leasing and the immigration file so you arrive at a company that banks will actually onboard.
