Why Set Up a Dubai Free Zone Company or Dubai Free Zone Business?

Who is the Dubai Free Zone Company Suitable For?

The Dubai Free Zone Company is suited to those investors who wish to set up a Dubai Company in a fully facilitated designated zone clustered with other UAE and foreign companies at a lower cost than the Local LLC Company types to take advantage of the UAE market and its strategic location, minimize their corporate tax liabilities, protect their assets and maintain 100% ownership without the involvement of local sponsors.

A Dubai Free Zone Company is attractive to investors because it is a Company with international image within a confidential and tax-free environment that can open a bank account in the Dubai and/or anywhere internationally and has the highest degree of confidentiality. A Dubai Free Zone may be incorporated either by individuals or Companies registered anywhere.

Dubai Free Zone Company Formation – Register Your Business with a Dubai Free Zone and …Join the ‘Winners Club’

It seems like yesterday that in 1985 the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, the very first Dubai Free Zone, started its operations and for the first time foreigners could do business in the UAE and the Gulf with their own 100%-owned onshore UAE Company. Take a look at Dubai and the UAE now! Tens of Free Zone Areas with state-of-the-art facilities and a huge appeal to international investors across the globe. Dubai is now, undoubtedly, the uncontested ‘Free Zone Leader’ as it is the most successful Free Zone Location in the world.

And here’s why…

Form a Dubai Free Zone Company – Benefit from Your Dubai Free Zone Company being a Globally Recognised Onshore UAE Company with a UAE Certificate of Tax Residence …and avoid International Automatic Exchange of Information

A Dubai Free Zone Company is a very well-known and popular Company type in the UAE and internationally and one that enjoys a “white-list’ status as it is not included in any official FATF ‘tax-haven black-lists’ internationally. In this sense, your new Dubai Free Zone Company will enjoy an internationally recognized and accepted status.

A Dubai Free Zone Company is a tax-free UAE Registered and UAE Tax Resident Company that is set up in an especially designated UAE Economic Zone (Dubai Free Zone) that in addition enjoys special Customs exemptions and privileges and many other concessions.

This Dubai Free Zone Company is in addition permitted to conduct local UAE and international business activities outside the UAE and derive the entirety of its income on a worldwide basis.

Simple, Flexible and Functional Corporate and License Structures

The Dubai Free Zone Regulatory Authority – Dubai Free Zone Licensing Authority (and many times the Free Zone Courts) of each Free Zone Area have jurisdiction and management of the Dubai Free Zone Companies set up within them and set Rules and Guidelines for their licensing and operations.

There are broadly 2 main types of Dubai Free Zone Company Types:

1. Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
2. Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC)

New Company Formation as well as establishment of branches of local or foreign companies are both possible. Share Capital requirements vary from Dubai Free Zone to Free Zone but generally a minimum of 50,000 AED per company and 10,000 AED per investor is the norm.

The main difference between them is that FZE is just a FZ-LLC that has just one (1) shareholder whereas the FZ-LLC has two (2) or more. Both offer the same tax and non-tax benefits, although depending on the specific Dubai Free Zone, there may also be minor differences in the share capital requirements.

You will own 100% of the shares in the Dubai Free Zone Company. You will be able to trade locally between and within the Dubai Free Zone Areas and internationally, as well as (this is so ONLY in the case of Dubai Free Zone Companies and RAK Free Zone Companies) in the ‘UAE Mainland’ in relation to all services except services specially regulated (Finance, Insurance, Banking). If you wish to supply / sell goods to the ‘UAE Mainland’ a 5% duty is levied on such sales which have to be effected by a UAE distributor or agent, a service we can arrange for you.

There are number of exceptionally facilitated free zones in the Dubai. The most well-known and popular are the Jebel Ali Free zone (JAFZA) , Dubai Multi Commodity Centre (DMCC), Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA), Dubai World Central (DWC) and many others. You are ‘spoiled for choice’ and locations when it comes to Dubai Free Zone Areas.

Each Dubai Free Zone depending on its rules AND the business type of your company and business activity has a different set of requirements, costs – fees and license types. Types of License:

• Dubai Free Zone Commercial licenses for all kinds of trading and holding activities
• Dubai Free Zone Professional licenses covering professional services, health, educational, media, management consultancy, human resources, public relations and other services
• Dubai Free Zone Industrial licenses include all manufacturing businesses or operations involving processing goods or packaging products for sale

Many, attractive, and may we say unparalleled, tax and other non-tax advantages render the Dubai Free Zone Company as the Vehicle of Choice for international investors who wish to conduct local UAE, Middle East, Gulf and International Trading and Other Activities.

Let’s have a brief look at some of these key advantages…

Many Advantages of Dubai Free Zone Companies

Constructive use of Dubai Free Zone Company Formation in the UAE can yield the investor significant advantages. Tax Free Status, Security, Confidentiality, Flexibility and Unique Lifestyle Advantages. Read about the UAE Advantages and UAE Facts.

A Wide Spectrum of Dubai Business License Types and Business Activities

Dubai Free Zone Companies are permitted to engage in business activities under a business license or licenses and activities within these licenses they apply for such as holding company activities, trading in goods and services, professional services, industrial activities, commercial activities, manufacturing and others. They are used as holding Companies being shareholders and investors in other UAE or non UAE-based Companies as well as property holding Companies. Dubai Free Zone Companies are not allowed to engage in Insurance and Finance business.

Confidentiality

Additionally, a Dubai Free Zone Company or an IBC is protected by the highest levels of confidentiality adopted in the UAE about the identity of its owners, directors and activities, within acceptable international standards.

An active Dubai Free Zone Company (and its holding company) with its owners and managers being under a UAE Residence Visa (UAE Residents) is not reported / reportable by banks in the UAE to authorities outside the UAE as part of the Automatic Exchange of Information international initiative that will apply from 2019.

So the Dubai Free Zone Company is of outstanding value to foreign investors who wish to maintain their confidentiality intact.

Bank Account & Registered Office

The Dubai Free Zone Company is allowed to have a Dubai Registered Office at the location of the Free Zone Area it is licensed under (many options within the Free Zone Areas which are all located centrally and have outstanding facilities), open a Dubai bank account as well a bank account anywhere outside the UAE, own Dubai and UAE Real Estate and use the Services of Dubai and UAE professional firms.

With our firm having offices in both downtown Dubai and Ras-Al-Khaimah investors have a choice of location of Free Zone Area of their Dubai Free Zone Company within easy reach of our staff and proximity to our offices.

Dubai Free Zone Company Incorporation in the UAE | Establishment Procedures

We specialise in Dubai Free Zone Company incorporation with the Competent Dubai Free Zone Licensing & Regulatory Authorities in the UAE.  We are your valuable and trusted partner for literally ALL Your Dubai Free Zone Company needs in the UAE. Dubai Free Zone Company incorporation, bank account opening and professional corporate services. Dubai Free Zone Companies in Dubai, UAE, afford significant advantages to investors and are 0% tax-free internationally accepted vehicles to do business.

Corporate and Structuring Advice:

Consultancy and discussion on the business purpose to confirm / guide you and make sure the Dubai Free Zone Company will suit your business and/or purposes.

We will then send you a quotation to agree and subject to agreement we will issue an invoice for payment. On receipt of payment we will begin the work, as described below.

Registered Company name:

Choosing a name for your Dubai Free Zone Company is the first thing to do and we recommend selecting three names in order of preference, to ensure that the name is approved without delay (FZ LLC, FZE must be affixed at the end of the name).

Shareholders, Directors and Company Secretary:

A minimum of one Shareholder, one Manager are allowed for the Dubai Free Zone Company, each of which can be an individual or a corporate entity. The legal name, address, contact details and other attested (or ‘legalized’) documentation for each officer may also be required. Plus each has to visit the UAE in order to complete the procedure. Also he/they may need to re-enter on applying to the bank to open a bank account. So the easiest, quickest and cheapest way is to have one natural person be the manager, the shareholder and the secretary at the same time and make changes later on.

Shares and currency of issue:

Issued shares of a Dubai Free Zone Company are usually on a ‘paid up’ basis, allocated to shareholders. There are low minimum capital requirements (around 50,000 AED) but for our clients we recommend to have adequate capital paid up and deposited at a local bank from the start to have the “goodwill” of the banks and the authorities as to the serious business intentions of the Company

Incorporation timescale:

On submission of all required documentation, Company formation can take from 8-10 weeks depending on the Free Zone of choice. Bank account opening may take 2-3 weeks, depending on the case and the specific corporate structure. So generally in the UAE it is true that “patience is a virtue”. Generally the UAE has significant “red tape” at all levels of the system (but to be fair it is also a very popular jurisdiction creating high workload levels for the banks and authorities) and things may not be as efficient as in the EU or the US. The Choice of a Competent Dubai Free Zone Company Registered Agents / Dubai Free Zone Company Formation Consultants is critical in this respect.

BUT … the UAE has such significant other advantages (0% tax, FULL 100% beneficial owner confidentiality with banks and authorities PLUS+ no information exchange for any type of UAE active Company trading in goods or services or holding Companies of active Companies!
