ᐅ What are the differences between free zone companies and non-free zone companies in the UAE?
Free zone companies are designed to foster international trade, allowing for 100% foreign ownership and tax exemptions. However, they are restricted to specific trading activities within the zone and cannot conduct business directly within the UAE market.

We can help you choose the right structure based on your business goals.

ᐅ Are there any restrictions on foreign ownership of UAE companies?

The registration process can vary significantly based on company type, but generally, it takes anywhere from a few days up to several weeks.
