Frequently Asked Questions

Freezone Company Formation

What is a Free Zone Company Setup?

The UAE has special economic zones. These zones give perks like full ownership, no taxes, and simplified processes. A company set in a free zone is called a freezone company setup.

Can I own a free zone company alone?

Yes, in many UAE free zones, you can be the only company owner. But in some, you can have more than one owner. This varies from one free zone to another. To know this, you need to get in touch with the relevant free zone officials or a business consultant in the UAE.

How long does the Dubai freezone company setup process take?

The Dubai freezone company setup can take a few weeks. It can change based on the specific free zone, how complicated your business is, and whether your paperwork is complete.

Are there custom duties or restrictions in a free zone for imports/exports?

Free zones don’t have to pay customs taxes. So, they offer smooth and organized import/export processes for goods and services.

Can I convert my existing free zone company to a Dubai mainland company?

Yes, you can convert your Free Zone company to a Dubai Mainland company. However, the process is complex, and you must not proceed without expert consultation. As there is no direct transfer option available, you have to cancel your Free Zone license and apply for a new license with DED. You also have to obtain visas, register for VAT, and complete the business registration process again. 

Can I set up a mainland company without a physical office space?

No, you cannot have a mainland business setup in Dubai without a physical office. Mainland companies must have a minimum physical office space of at least 200 square feet. These are the regulatory requirements.
