Why to choose UAE Free Zones

Enjoy 100% ownership and tax benefits

Free zones are special economic regions or jurisdictions that issue operating licenses for business establishments and grant financial and tax exclusions. Selecting the right free zone depends on your business type, target markets, and operational requirements and each have unique advantages based on industry focus and infrastructure.

Full ownership

One of the most obvious benefits of forming a free zone company in Dubai is complete foreign ownership. Regardless of the investor’s nationality, foreign ownership is acceptable.

Uncomplicated company formation

The processes for company formation in a free zone are easy and clear. In comparison to other countries, you may complete the licensing formalities faster, which makes the business setup operations much simpler.

Complete repatriation of capital and profits

The businesses qualify for all repatriation advantages. Profits and finances are also included in this. This indicates that the foreign individual is qualified to return to his native nation with all company profits.

Availability of top-notch infrastructure

You can access robust and stable communication systems as well as the most effective and contemporary infrastructure. Additionally, you may move your items and services by air, sea, and land using top-notch transportation networks.

Straightforward immigration process

You will likely need to undergo the immigration process when establishing a freezone firm in the UAE. But, since this technique is so straightforward and stress free, you don’t need to worry about it. Moreover, if you have experienced advisers at your hand, the procedure may be much simpler.

Simple to locate the workforce

Labor recruiting procedures may be completed quickly and affordably by free zone enterprises.
