Who We’ve Worked With
Starting a Business in a Free Zone
UAE Free Zones offer various legal structures tailored to different ownership needs and business goals. The chosen entity impacts management control, operational efficiency, and access to benefits like favourable tax conditions.
Three types of Business Entities in UAE Free Zones
Free Zone LLC (FZ LLC / FZ co.)
An FZ LLC gives you a flexible structure with limited liability protection. It's recognized as a separate legal entity, meaning your risk is limited to your share in the business.
Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
FZE is designed for single owners who want full control. It's lean, straightforward, and gives you complete authority over how the business operates.
Branch Office
Open a branch in a Free Zone to extend your current operations without creating a new legal entity. This option suits both local and international companies looking to grow their footprint.
