Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Free Zone Company Formation

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most.

What is a UAE free zone company? +
A UAE free zone company is a business registered within one of the UAE's designated free zones, purpose-built economic areas offering foreign investors full ownership, streamlined licensing, and tax benefits. Free zone companies are regulated by their free zone authority rather than the mainland Department of Economic Development.
Can a free zone company work with mainland customers? +
It depends on your business activity and how you plan to serve mainland customers, and the rules in this area have been evolving. We review your specific situation and advise on the right structure, whether that's your existing free zone setup, a mainland licence, or a combination of both.
Do free zone companies pay Corporate Tax? +
Free zone companies may be eligible for 0% Corporate Tax on qualifying income if they meet the required conditions, including maintaining adequate substance. All free zone companies still need to register and file annual returns. We assess your qualifying status as part of setup.
How do I choose the right free zone? +
It depends on your business activity, budget, visa requirements, office needs, and target market. We compare the most suitable free zones for your situation so you make the right choice from the start.
How long does free zone formation take? +
Free zone formation is typically faster than mainland formation, often issuing a licence within three to seven business days once documents are submitted. Timelines vary by free zone and activity. We give you a clear estimate upfront.
Do I need a physical office in the free zone? +
Most free zones offer flexible options including flexi-desks, shared workspaces, and dedicated offices. The minimum requirement depends on the free zone and your visa quota needs.
How do we get started? +
Contact us for a free consultation. We'll understand your business, recommend the right free zone, and provide a clear plan and cost estimate.
