UAE Freezone Company Formation
Launch your business in one of the UAE’s many free zones and enjoy 100% foreign ownership, simplified setup, and access to global markets.
Main Things To Know About UAE Freezone Company Formation
Free zones are designed to attract international businesses by offering benefits like full foreign ownership, zero corporate or personal income tax (in most zones), and streamlined registration processes. They are often industry-focused such as media, technology, logistics, or finance allowing you to choose a zone that aligns with your business activity. Licensing is handled directly by the free zone authority, and requirements are generally simpler than in the mainland.
Companies set up in free zones can trade internationally and within their own zone, but to operate directly in the wider UAE market you may need to appoint a local distributor or open a mainland branch later. Each free zone has its own regulations, fees, and facilities, ranging from flexi-desks and shared offices to full warehouses and industrial land. Visa quotas, banking requirements, and compliance obligations vary slightly between zones, so choosing the right one is key.
