Free zones in Dubai are designated areas that offer various incentives and benefits to businesses, including tax exemptions, 100% foreign ownership, and simplified setup processes.
Dubai is home to over 30 free zones catering to different industries, such as technology, media, healthcare, and logistics, providing businesses with a wide range of options for company setup.
Some key advantages include 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, full repatriation of profits, access to a skilled workforce, simplified setup processes, and world-class infrastructure.
Free zones in Dubai cater to various business activities, including trading, manufacturing, services, and technology, making them suitable for a wide range of industries and business models.
No, one of the benefits of Dubai free zones is that they allow 100% foreign ownership without the need for a local sponsor, giving businesses full control and autonomy.
The process typically involves selecting a free zone, choosing a business activity, obtaining initial approvals, drafting legal documents, leasing office space, obtaining licenses, and completing visa formalities. Emifast can guide you through each step efficiently.
