Free zone FAQs
Which free zone is best for my business?
There is no single best free zone. It depends on your activity, the number of visas, workspace needs, budget and preferred emirate. Use the filters to shortlist options and we will recommend the most suitable one for your plan.
Does a free zone company need an office?
Several free zones offer packages with no physical office or a shared desk, which is enough for the licence. Visa quotas often depend on the workspace you take.
Can a free zone company work with mainland UAE clients?
In many service cases yes, but direct trading of goods into the mainland normally needs a mainland licence, a distributor or customs procedures. We advise the right structure for your plan.
How many visas can I get with a free zone licence?
It depends on the authority, the package and often the office size. The finder shows the usual maximum for standard packages; larger offices can allow more.
