Official documentation
Certificates of Partnership
Every certificate below is an original, physically issued document from the respective UAE free-zone authority — confirming Avyanco's authorised channel-partner status.
Why it matters
Any agent can say they “work with” a free zone. Not every agent is listed by one.
An authorised channel partner is formally vetted, approved and registered by the free-zone authority in its official partner programme — and the zone can revoke that status. That accountability is what separates a certified partner from an unlisted agent.
- Direct portal access — applications submitted internally, not via public counters
- A dedicated relationship manager at each zone for faster processing
- Zone-published pricing, disclosed upfront and passed through at cost
- Accountability — partner status can be revoked for misconduct
- Access to partner-only zone promotions not offered to the public
“Choose the zone that fits your business — not the one that pays the highest commission. If a lower-cost zone is the right answer, that's the one we'll recommend.”
— The Avyanco advisory principle

The difference in practice
Authorised partner vs. unlisted agent
Officially Listed, Not Just “Working With”
Any agent can claim they work with a free zone. An authorised channel partner is formally vetted, approved and registered by the zone — a status the zone can revoke. That accountability changes how the work is done.
Direct Portal Access
Applications are submitted internally through partner portals with a dedicated relationship manager at each zone — not queued through public counters.
Single Point of Contact
Zone selection, activity codes, visas, Emirates ID, banking introductions and PRO services — handled under one engagement, with no hand-offs to sub-agents you never met.
Pre-Checked Before Submission
Every application is reviewed against the zone’s current compliance checklist before it is filed, so avoidable rejections and costly resubmissions are caught early.
Partner-Only Offers
Free zones periodically extend channel partners bundled licence and visa promotions that are not published on their public websites.
One Advisor for the Company’s Life
Licence renewals, visa renewals, activity additions, shareholder changes and closures — handled by the same team, so you never start over with a new agent each year.
Questions
Authorised-partner FAQs
What does it mean that Avyanco is an authorised channel partner of a UAE free zone?
An authorised channel partner is an officially appointed agent, vetted and approved by the free zone authority to process company registrations, visas and licence renewals on behalf of clients. Partners are listed in the zone’s official partner programme, and the status can be revoked — which keeps the work accountable. Avyanco holds original partnership certificates from IFZA, Meydan, SPC, SHAMS, SRTIP, RAKEZ, Ajman Free Zone, UAQ Free Trade Zone and Masdar City Free Zone.
Which UAE free zones is Avyanco an authorised partner of?
Avyanco is a certified channel or referral partner of nine UAE free zones: IFZA (International Free Zone Authority), Meydan Free Zone, SPC Free Zone (Sharjah Publishing City), SHAMS (Sharjah Media City), SRTIP (Sharjah Research, Technology & Innovation Park), RAKEZ (Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone), Ajman Free Zone, UAQ Free Trade Zone (Umm Al Quwain) and Masdar City Free Zone (Abu Dhabi). Each partnership is backed by an original certificate issued in Avyanco’s name.
Why use an authorised channel partner instead of going to the free zone directly?
Authorised partners have direct portal access, a dedicated relationship manager at each zone and faster internal processing. Just as importantly, you get end-to-end advisory — choosing the right zone, activity and structure for your business — which you don’t get from a zone’s own counter staff.
Are the certificates on this page genuine?
Yes. Every certificate shown is an original document physically issued to Avyanco Business Consultancy by the respective UAE free zone authority. Avyanco has also been recognised by SiliconIndia as one of the 10 Most Promising Company Formation Consultants in the UAE (2023).
Does channel-partner status change the government fees I pay?
No. Government and free-zone registration fees are set by the authority and are disclosed to you upfront and passed through at cost. Working through an authorised partner gives you accurate zone-published pricing and access to any partner-only promotions the zone is running.
