UAE’s free zones are extremely popular among entrepreneurs and business owners for setting up companies since they are tax-free zones with free trading ports that can be owned solely by the person setting it up (regardless of nationality).

Free zones are the best options to set up a business if customers:

  1. Want to import goods and store them in a warehouse in a free zone and then re-export them out of the UAE.
  2. Plan to open manufacturing units and export finished goods outside the UAE or sell them on the mainland via distributors.
  3. Wish to conduct commercial activity and own 100% of their business. However, he/she cannot conduct operations directly on the mainland.
