Start by identifying your business activity and a suitable authority. Confirm the legal structure, licence, premises, and document requirements, then submit the application through the relevant process. Fazza can help prepare and coordinate these steps.
What is the process for company formation in Dubai free zones?
The process depends on the chosen zone. It generally involves reviewing the activity and structure, preparing the proposed name and documents, arranging the required premises, and applying for registration and licensing. Additional approvals may be needed for some activities.
What documents may be required for free zone company registration?
Common examples include passport copies, personal photographs, company name and activity information, and residency documents where applicable. Corporate shareholders may need incorporation records and authorising documents. Request the selected authority’s exact checklist.
Can Fazza help with UAE visa and Emirates ID services?
Yes. Fazza assists with visa and immigration paperwork, related typing, and Emirates ID application or renewal support. Eligibility and procedural requirements are set by the relevant authorities; visas are not automatically guaranteed by company registration.
How can I obtain a trade licence in a UAE free zone?
Apply to the relevant free zone authority for the activity and legal structure you plan to use. The authority determines the documents, fees, premises, and approvals required. Fazza can assist with the application and follow-up.
How long does setup take, and what will it cost?
Timing and fees depend on the free zone, activity, package, documents, and any additional approvals. Visa and identity processes may add separate stages. Ask for an itemised quotation and an estimate for your circumstances.
Is every free zone company exempt from corporate tax?
No. A 0% rate applies to Qualifying Income of a Qualifying Free Zone Person only when the applicable conditions are met. Review current Federal Tax Authority guidance for your circumstances.
