Free-zone Company Formation
Set up your free zone company in the UAE with 100% ownership and 0% tax. Fakher & Co helps you choose the right free zone — DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC, RAKEZ, and more.
A Cost-Effective and Streamlined Setup for Your International Business
The UAE is home to over 40 specialized free zones, which are designated economic areas that offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate taxes, and a host of other benefits for businesses. A free zone company is an ideal choice for entrepreneurs and businesses that are primarily focused on international trade or providing services to clients outside the UAE. Each free zone is designed to cater to specific industries, creating vibrant ecosystems for businesses in sectors like technology, media, finance, and logistics.
At Fakher & Co, we are experts in the UAE’s free zone landscape. We provide tailored advice to help you select the perfect free zone for your specific business activity and manage the entire company formation process for you, ensuring a fast, smooth, and cost-effective setup.
The Major Benefits of a Free Zone Company
Setting up in a free zone is a popular choice for international entrepreneurs due to a range of attractive benefits:
- 100% Foreign Ownership: You retain full ownership and control of your business without the need for a local Emirati partner.
- 0% Corporate and Personal Income Tax: Enjoy the benefit of a tax-free environment, maximizing your profits.
- 100% Repatriation of Profits and Capital: You can transfer 100% of your profits and capital back to your home country without any restrictions.

Choosing the Right Free Zone
With dozens of free zones to choose from, selecting the right one is critical. The choice depends on several factors, and our expert consultants will guide you based on:
- Your Specific Business Activity: Each free zone has its own list of permitted business activities.
- Your Budget: The costs for licensing and office space can vary significantly between free zones.
- Your Office Needs: Whether you need a physical office, a flexi-desk, or just a virtual office.
