Find the answers to your Dubai Freezone business set up question here.

UAE free zones or Free Trade Zones (FTZ) in Dubai are special economic areas. They are given this title because it is “free” to trade in these areas. They do not charge taxes, duty fees and some other costs usually incurred when running a business.

Of course, there are still some overhead costs to do business, but much less than in other parts of the world. Take advantage of this with our service for business formation in Dubai freezones. And with the fantastic weather, central location, and lavish lifestyle, freezones are a dream come true.

There are 40 freezones in Dubai at the time of writing. It is important to remember when asking both “how many freezones are in Dubai?” and “how many freezones are in the UAE?” that this area of the world is in constant development. Dubai has grown from a few buildings in the desert in the 90s to one of the most modern, advanced cities in the world. So, while there are 40 Freezones now, that number may have risen by the time you read this.

With so many options for businesses to set up in Dubai, they require a lot of research to understand. Our customers rely on us for our experience, expertise, and knowledge. If you don’t know what you are doing, it is hard to even know which free zone is right your business activities and getting it wrong means wasted time and money.

Yes, a freezone company in Dubai can own property, depending on the regulations of the freezone it is in. Leasing office spaces and other property is always fine. Some freezones have restrictions on property ownership, but most do not. We will consult you about this when defining your requirements to find the right zone.

This is one of the differentiating factors between freezone companies and mainland companies. A free zone business in Dubai is able to trade within the free zone and with other countries. But, free zone companies are subject to restrictions when it comes to trading within Dubai and the UAE outside the free zone. If you are looking to set up a company in Dubai that caters to the UAE market, you will need to get established as a mainland company. We offer mainland company setup as a separate service.

No, they are on land and in the city of Dubai. Because the two main options for company formation in Dubai are mainland or free zone, some assume that means they are offshore. Most free zones in Dubai are highly desirable parts of the city, including the new Silicon Oasis. “Mainland” companies are simply companies that are not based in freezones.

Our Dubai free zone company formation service can be used by parent companies to establish a subsidiary in Dubai. This cuts tax costs, but there are special considerations when opening a subsidiary. We ensure your business in Dubai trades legally, whatever your corporate structure.

You will retain 100% ownership of your company, we only set your company up for you and will not have any control of or liability for your business. Free zone companies can have 100% foreign ownership, so you do not have to be a native citizen of the UAE to own your business.
