Free Zones

If 100% foreign company ownership and favourable tax rates are what you’re after, the UAE’s more than 50 free zones are a great place to start.
‍
You can benefit from 0% corporate tax on taxable income up to AED 375,000, and only 9% for taxable income above AED 375,000. Additionally, you could also benefit from the option to incorporate remotely, with no requirement for paid-up share capital or an NOC.

IFZA or Meydan?

For entrepreneurs in search of a versatile business environment with a wide range of permissible activities and quick company registration, IFZA Free Zone may be the best choice.

Meanwhile, Meydan Free Zone is also flexible, permitting a variety of business activities without additional fees for combining trading and consulting.

Whilst IFZA may be ideal for those prioritising quick setup and a wide range of business licences, Meydan could be a better choice for cost-conscious businesses seeking flexible activity combinations without extra fees.

Consulting with experts like us enables you to gain access to advice so you can make an informed decision on what works best for you.
