Different Free Zones

Select Free Zone Wisely

start exploring

                  The UAE's free economic zones are specialized legal and economic territories offering favorable conditions for international businesses and investors. With over 40 zones, each operates under independent regulations and provides unique advantages for business setup.
Registering in a UAE free zone simplifies legal processes and supports tax planning but requires strict compliance with local laws and careful attention to registration, licensing, and governance.

UAE free zones differ in types of activities they license and incorporation procedures, as well as they differ in incentives they offer upon incorporation.
