Free Zones are economic areas where one can carry out trade at preferential tax and customs rates. Free Zones were originally formed to boost international business in the region by offering benefits such as 100% foreign company ownership.
Why Choose a UAE Free Zone?
Key Advantages of a Free Zone Company Setup:
- 100% foreign ownership — no local partner required
- No NOC required from your current employer to incorporate
- No paid-up capital needed in most jurisdictions
- Option to register under common law structures (in select free zones)
- Physical office not mandatory — Flexi-desk or virtual options available
- 0% corporate and income tax in most free zones
- Remote incorporation available — set up without visiting the UAE
