Free zone Company

Advantages Of A Free Zone Company

Registering a business in Dubai in a free economic zone (FEZ) allows you to conduct business on preferential terms . There are several dozen FEZs in the UAE (there are more than 40 in Dubai alone ). They specialize in different industries: medicine, finance, IT, retail, etc. 

A Free Zone Company is a 100% foreign owned company and is suitable for those wishing to conduct business within the Free Zone.

The advantages of registering a business in a FEZ include the ability to register a company without the participation of a local founder (sponsor), the ability to work remotely without a physical office, no VAT, preferential terms for opening, and no bureaucracy.

Mainland Company

Advantages Of A Mainland Company

This is a classic type of local organization that allows you to legally do business throughout the UAE. To register such a company, you need a local founder who will own 51% of the shares, but some areas of activity allow 100% foreign ownership of local enterprises.

This type is suitable if the business plans to operate in the UAE and also participate in government tenders.

  • Cafes and Restaurant

Offshore Company

Advantages Of An Offshore Company

Offshore registration is suitable if the owner plans to engage in international trade outside the UAE. This type of business is also suitable if it is necessary to put the business on the balance sheet or, for example, to protect the beneficiaries. 

This type of business involves activities outside the UAE, such as international trade.
