Yes. Free zone companies are fully foreign-owned, and most mainland activities also allow 100% foreign ownership. A few strategic activities still have restrictions, and we'll confirm yours before you apply.
For many free zone setups, the licence can be issued remotely with digital signatures. You'll need to be in the UAE for the visa medical, biometrics and, usually, bank account opening.
UAE Corporate Tax is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000. Free zone companies that meet the Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions can pay 0% on qualifying income. Your activity and customers determine whether that applies, which is why we check it first.
Free zone packages are usually cheaper to start. But if most of your customers are in the UAE onshore market, a mainland licence can cost less over time. Our cost calculator and quote compare both.
We prepare your KYC pack, recommend suitable banks and arrange introductions. Final approval always rests with the bank.
