Why Set Up in a Free Zone?
In addition to the benefits highlighted above, a free zone setup can offer you possible exemption from corporate tax and VAT, subject to meeting certain conditions.
However, since the UAE has more than 50 free zones, each having their own pricing, processes, advantages and disadvantages, choosing the right one can be challenging.
Benefits of a Free Zone Company
- 100% company ownership
- 100% capital and profit repatriation
- 0% personal income tax
- Potential Corporation Tax and VAT Exemptions (subject to meeting certain criteria)
- No paid upfront share capital (in most, but not all free zones)
- No customs levied on imports and exports
- Physical office not required (in most, but not all free zones)
- Minimum paperwork and simple setup process
Mainland Company Setup
For certain business activities, such as F&B, retail and real estate, a mainland company setup would be the most suitable option. With a mainland company, you can enjoy the following benefits:
- 100% company ownership (except in strategic sectors such as oil and gas)
- Access to more than 3,000 activities
- Unlimited number of visas
- Freedom to trade in and outside the UAE
- Ability to bid on government contracts and tenders
- Freedom set up an office anywhere in the UAE
In some cases, it is mandatory to set up a mainland company (such as if you wish to provide physical duties or rent a physical office in the mainland), and choosing the wrong jurisdiction can be very costly in the future.
That’s why we are here. We’ll help you make sure all of your requirements and options are carefully considered before you take the leap.
