Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about business setup in Dubai
How long does it take to set up a freezone company in Dubai?
The typical timeframe for setting up a freezone company in Dubai is 5-10 working days, depending on the specific freezone, business activities, and documentation readiness. Some freezones offer express services that can expedite the process to 2-3 working days for an additional fee.
Can a freezone company do business in mainland UAE?
A freezone company cannot directly conduct business in mainland UAE. To operate in the mainland market, a freezone company must either appoint a local distributor/agent or establish a branch/subsidiary in the mainland. However, freezone companies can freely engage in business with other freezone companies and international markets.
How many visas can I get with a freezone company?
The number of visas available with a freezone company depends on the freezone, your package type, and office space. Basic packages typically offer 2-3 visas, while larger packages with dedicated office space can provide 4-6 or more visas. Some freezones also allow additional visa sponsorship for a supplementary fee.
Is a physical office mandatory for freezone companies?
Most freezones require some form of physical presence, but the requirements vary. Options typically include virtual offices, flexi-desks (shared workspaces), serviced offices, or dedicated office space. Some freezones now offer “virtual” or “remote” packages that don’t require regular physical presence but still provide a registered address.
What's the minimum capital requirement for a freezone company?
The minimum capital requirements vary by freezone. Many freezones have moved away from requiring physical deposit of share capital, while others maintain nominal capital requirements between AED 10,000 to AED 50,000 that need to be mentioned in the company documents but don’t necessarily need to be deposited. Some specialized freezones, particularly those for financial or regulated activities, may have higher capital requirements.
