UAE free zone companies, Benefits, and Document required

There are nearly 40 Free Zones effective in UAE, and many of them are under construction. Each UAE Free Zone offers licenses to companies in some particular commercial categories.

Free Zone Authority (FZA) is the only autonomous governing body over which no foreign ownership restrictions is applicable. It is the single authority responsible for issuing operating licenses and regulating the activities of companies within the UAE Free Zone.

The UAE is the chief business pivot for setting up representative office or a business center. It is a very tedious task to identify the best free trade zone out of the existing 40 free trade zone of the UAE to conduct business in this region.

The biggest delusion among business personals is that a Free Zone Company is an offshore company, however with some similarities; they also have some different characteristics.

Benefits of the UAE Free Zone:

  • Permitting directors, shareholders and employees to acquire residency visas in the UAE.
  • Allows foreign ownership i.e. no need for a local partner/sponsor.
  • Complete exile of profits and capital.
  • No currency restrictions.
  • World class infrastructure.
  • Lowest tariffs in the region.
  • Cheap energy.
  • Modern business approaches.
  • Excellent support services.

Selecting the principal Free Zone has a wide impact on the business activity and establishment.
