Free Zone Company Formation in Dubai | UAE

Free Zone Company formation in Dubai & UAE  

The introduction of Free Zones has led to the drastic transformation of the economic market of the UAE in the several years.  The pioneer in the Free Zone Empire in the UAE is Jebel Ali Free Zone, which was started in Dubai in 1985. It rapidly grew providing a powerful economic inspiration to the other Emirates, which later set up their own Free Zones to attract investment.

UAE Free Zones are designed according to specific or different business industry categories and offer licenses to companies and entities within those classifications.

Each Free Zone is managed by separate Independent Free Zone Authority, which is responsible for issuing business permits and licenses, employee visas and regulating the business requirements.Each Free zone has its unique rules and regulations.

Free Zone entities may trade, import/export with entities within the free zone or outside UAE. Free zone entities may buy from UAE, but, in case they need to sell goods to the main land of UAE they have to employ the services of a distributor or agent in the main land who will be liable to pay custom duty as if the purchase from the free zone entity constitutes an import into UAE. A free zone company cannot directly sell or provide any services to entities or other parties outside the free zone but within the mainland of UAE without an authorized agent or distributor in the mainland of UAE.
