Free Zone company setup in the UAE
UAE Free Zones offer a wide range of licences, visa packages and facility options, but the lowest advertised package is not always the right choice. TTM Corporate compares the practical operating requirements of the business before recommending a jurisdiction.
What we compare before you choose a Free Zone
Activity and licence scope
We check whether the proposed activities are available and whether the licence supports the way you intend to invoice and operate.
Visas, office and banking
Visa allocation, desk or office requirements, establishment-card costs and bank onboarding expectations can materially change the real setup cost.
Free Zones we regularly assess
Depending on the activity and client profile, comparisons may include IFZA, Meydan Free Zone, RAKEZ, KEZAD, UAQ Free Trade Zone, DMCC, JAFZA and other specialist jurisdictions.
Typical Free Zone setup process
- Confirm activity and shareholder structure.
- Compare suitable jurisdictions and total first-year cost.
- Prepare KYC and incorporation documents.
- Submit the licence application.
- Complete establishment-card and immigration steps if visas are required.
- Proceed with corporate banking assistance and tax registrations where applicable.
