Free economic zones in the UAE are unique legal and economic territories that provide favorable conditions for international companies and investors.
Each free zone operates within the framework of independent legislation regulating activities of companies on its territory. Today there are more than 40 free economic zones in the UAE, each with a distinct specialization and offering various advantages in business setup.
Registering a company in one of the UAE's free economic zones is an attractive solution from a point of tax planning and simplification of legal processes. However, successful activities within a free zone require strict compliance with local legislation and careful legal consideration of all aspects, including registration, licensing and corporate governance.
