For the last decade, the UAE has been one of the fastest-growing economies around the globe, and the government has passed several policies encouraging foreign investors and business owners to start businesses in their territory. One of the investment-friendly decisions made by the government is the establishment of various special economic zones to encourage foreign direct investment in the country. These special economic zones are termed Free Trade Zones, and they provide various benefits to foreign investors, including 100% exemption on the payment of personal or corporate income tax and import and export tax. In Dubai, there are a total of 30 FTZs, namely, Dubai Science Park, Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai Internet City, etc. A company established and operating in these zones is termed a Free Zone company. If you are also willing to enter the global market, you should start a business in the free zones of Dubai and enjoy the tax benefits and lenient policies for business owners. We at Enterslice will guide you in establishing a free zone company in Dubai at affordable prices.

Process of Free Zone Company Registration in Dubai

The first and foremost step in the free zone company registration is choosing the business activity that you want to conduct in the free zone. On the basis of your business activity, you need to apply for your business license. The decision to establish your company in a particular free zone depends on the type of your business activity. Our experts at Enterslice will guide you in the selection of your business activity based on your business plan and strategy.

After selecting the business activity, you must choose the free zone in which you will register your company. The selection of a free zone depends upon the type of business activity that you have finalised. For example, if you want to establish a company in the area of agriculture, horticulture or forestry, you have to set up your company in the Dubai Science Park as it is most suitable for your needs. But if you want to set up your company in the media and marketing consultancy field, you have to choose Dubai Media City as your desired free zone for conducting business. It is important to note that selecting an appropriate free zone per your needs is crucial because a company registered in a particular free zone can't expand its business operations to another free zone. You should not worry about these things when you can just connect with our experts at Enterslice, who will find the appropriate free zone for you as per your decided business activity.

Now you have decided on your business activity as well as your free trade zone, so you need to finalise a name for the business/company under which you will operate. While selecting the name for your business, you need to ensure that it is a unique name that connects with your target consumers. This will help your company to build a brand in your jurisdiction. You should also take care of the fact that your company's name is not identical or similar to any other business registered in the UAE. A foreign investor must check several other requirements with the Department of Economic Development before finalising the trade name. The name should not be offensive, i.e., it should be violating public morals or public order of the UAE. It should not have any names or logos of any external agencies and should not have any religious names. Our experts at Enterslice will assist you in selecting the appropriate name for your business, adhering to all the guidelines of the relevant authorities and local laws of the UAE.

Following the selection of a trade name, you now have to apply for a business license with the relevant authority of your selected free zone. This is the most essential part of the Dubai free zone company registration. This is very complicated as you will have to deal with the government authorities but you don't need to panic as our free zone company registration services include getting you the business license from your free zone authorities in a fast and effective manner. It generally takes around 2-4 weeks for the grant business license.

After applying to the relevant free zone authority for the business license, you should now select an office space for your company's office. You need to choose an office space and warehouse (if needed) in your designated free zone area, as there are restrictions to operating within the free zone. There are various options like shared offices or full dedicated office spaces from which a foreign investor can select the office per their company's needs. We at Enterslice will look for a perfect office space and warehouse for your business; you just need to connect with our experts and relax.

At last, you should open a business bank account to conduct the financial transactions of your business. You need to select a bank where you will open your business bank account and submit the required documents to commence the process.
