Why Establish Your
Business in a Free Zone?
Having a good business setup in high-end places on the Mainland will make it easy for you to get the customer’s attention.
UAE being the hotspot and the most popular destination for businesses of all sizes is the top location for starting off a new venture or branching off an existing company worldwide. More than 50,000 business licenses are issued every year and the number of license renewals adds to this number, to sum up over a million. You might want to know what the UAE government offers that is leading the country to the apex of corporate-based revenue. Free zones are Trade zones within The UAE that are completely tax-free and have unique custom and import benefits. Each free zone has its own rules and regulations catering to specific types of business activities.
UAE is the land of opportunities for business owners and entrepreneurs with emerging global connections and transformations in the country. There are 45 free zones in UAE and are a prime choice for foreign investors to set up their businesses due to no requirement of a local partnership, tax benefits, and a variety of visa options.
Mainland companies are best for business operations within the Emirates, with more free rules and regulations, while a free zone company is advisable if you plan on international business operations for your company.
The best choice for your company depends on the nature of your business, area of its operation, and revenue model. Our business specialists at Corporate Zone will guide you to the best decision in a free consultation.
