Frequently Asked Questions?
What is a UAE Free Zone company?
A UAE free zone company is an entity incorporated within a specially designated economic zone. Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% personal tax, full profit repatriation, and simplified setup procedures.
How long does free zone company formation take?
Most free zone companies can be fully incorporated within 3 to 7 working days once initial documentation is submitted.
Do I need an office to set up in a Free Zone?
No. Most UAE free zones offer flexible flexi-desk or co-working space packages that satisfy licensing requirements without the expense of a physical office.
Can a Free Zone company trade in the UAE mainland?
Free zone companies can conduct business globally and within free zones. To sell goods directly in the onshore UAE mainland, you can partner with a local distributor or open a mainland branch office.
