FREEZONE
BUSINESS SETUP
The UAE offers investors more than 40 different free zones where expatriates and foreign investors have 100% control of their companies.
A company registration in a free zone (free trade zone) allows you to do international business and interact with all 40 free zones. The marketing of your products and services in the UAE outside the free zones is not possible but requires a Mainland company set up.

Opening a Free Zone Company is ideal if you are planning international activities (e.g., internal consulting activities, licensing business, international trade) or to work in an industry-specific free zone (e.g., medical practice in Dubai Healthcare City, film production in Dubai Media City, etc.).
