Why a Dubai free zone?
Highest density of zones. Dubai hosts more specialized free zones than any other emirate, so there is almost always a jurisdiction matched to your activity.
100% foreign ownership. Own your Dubai free zone company outright, with no local sponsor or partner required.
0% corporate tax on qualifying income. Qualifying free zone income can benefit from a 0% UAE Corporate Tax rate, subject to meeting the relevant conditions.
Sector-built ecosystems. Zones run by TECOM Group, DP World, and DDA are built around industries such as finance, media, commodities, logistics, and tech.
UAE residence visas. Sponsor residence visas for you, your family, and your staff, subject to your chosen office or desk package.
Global connectivity. Dubai pairs world-class airports, ports, and infrastructure with a central location between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
