Features of registering a company in the free economic zone "IFZA Dubai"

Freezone in the Emirates is a great place to organize a business. The UAE Free Trade Zone is a geographically defined area of the city where 100% foreign ownership of companies is allowed.

As a rule, a local partner or a local agent is not required to open a company in one of the SEZs in the UAE. You can conduct business only in the territory of the free economic zone (with some exceptions) or outside the UAE.

In other words, the UAE Free Zones are not governed by the trade laws established by the Ministry of Commerce to regulate the trading activities of mainland companies. Free zones offer foreign investors and entrepreneurs 100% freedom of business ownership in addition to tax and customs exemption.

To date, there are more than 20 free zones in the Emirate of Dubai, three in the Emirate of Sharjah, three in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, three in the Emirate of Fujairah, two in the Emirate of Ajman, one in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain, and one in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi - four.
