Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) -
What is a Free Zone company in the UAE?
A Free Zone company is a business registered in a special economic area in the UAE where companies can benefit from full foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and simplified business regulations.
What are the benefits of setting up a company in a UAE Free Zone?
Key benefits include 100% foreign ownership, zero personal and corporate taxes (in most zones), simplified import/export procedures, repatriation of profits, and no currency restrictions.
Can a Free Zone company trade within the UAE mainland?
Not directly. Free Zone companies can only do business within the Free Zone or internationally. To operate in the mainland, a distributor or a mainland branch is required.
How do Free Zones differ from the mainland or offshore company setups?
Free Zones offer physical presence and operational flexibility with ownership benefits, unlike offshore setups. Mainland companies, on the other hand, allow full local market access but come with more compliance.
How long does it take to set up a Free Zone company in Dubai or the UAE?
In most cases, it takes 3 to 7 working days once documents are in order. Some Free Zones offer fast-track options for quicker registration.
What are the most popular Free Zones for company formation in the UAE?
DMCC, IFZA, Meydan, RAKEZ, Dubai South (DWC), and DWTCA are some of the top Free Zones offering industry-specific advantages, strategic locations, and varying cost structures.
Can Elevate help choose the right Free Zone?
Yes. Elevate assesses the client’s budget, business activity, and future goals to recommend the most suitable Free Zone — whether it’s for trading, consulting, logistics, or media.
What documents are needed to register a Free Zone company?
Typically, you’ll need passport copies, visa or entry permit (if applicable), a business plan or activity summary, and a company name. Certain zones may ask for additional documentation.
Is physical office space mandatory in a Free Zone?
Not always. Many Free Zones offer Flexi-desks or virtual offices. However, having a physical office may impact visa eligibility and license type.
How many visas can be issued under a Free Zone license?
It depends on the Free Zone and the size of your leased space. Some offer 1–3 visas with virtual offices, while others allow for more with dedicated office spaces.
