Free Zone Company Formation in UAE

Fast, simple & cost-effective free zone business setup solutions
with 100% online & remote process

UAE Free Trade Zones (FTZ) are determined geographical areas where UAE mainland taxes, employment and import-export restrictions on business do not apply.

We are here to assist you at each stage of business setup in any UAE Free Zone, such as registration of a tailor-made corporate structure, assistance in obtaining UAE residence visas, UAE corporate and private Bank Account Opening, VAT advisory, Accounting & Bookkeeping and full further administrative support.

UAE has more than 40 different Free Zones and starting a business entity in one of them can be a very attractive option for foreign investors, but choosing the right Free Zone for your business requires in-depth knowledge of the market.

With our experience and expertise we can recommend the right Free Zone, depending on business conditions, visa and office requirements, and, certainly, the investment budget.

HOW TO REGISTER A UAE FREE ZONE COMPANY 

To form a company in any UAE Free Zone, there are three main steps for completion:

  • Obtain your business license

  • Get your UAE Residence Visa

  • Open a corporate bank account

When properly planned, the whole business setup process should take from 1 to 4 weeks maximum.

Every company operating within a UAE Free Zone is required to obtain a business licence (also known as a trade licence). Each business licence is valid for one year, starting from the date of issue and must be renewed annually.


Establishment stages:

  • SELECT A LICENCE TYPE AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY

  • CHOOSE A FREE ZONE

  • SELECT A CORPORATE STRUCTURE

  • SELECT TRADE NAME & PREPARE DOCUMENTS

  • APPLY FOR INITIAL APPROVAL

  • SIGN LEGAL DOCUMENTS FOR COMPANY INCORPORATION

  • ESTABLISH BUSINESS LOCATION

  • COLLECT BUSINESS LICENSE

At the final stage your licence will be issued along with the other standard package of corporate documents (it may be slightly different from one Free Zone to another): Licence, Certificate of Incorporation, Share Certificate(s), Articles of Association (AOA) and Lease/Tenancy Contract.
