To start a company in a Dubai Free Zone, you must ensure that your business activity is approved within the chosen Free Zone and select the appropriate legal structure, such as a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) or a Free Zone Company (FZC). Free Zones allow 100% foreign ownership, but the number of shareholders permitted may vary. While some Free Zones require a minimum share capital, others do not impose such conditions. Additionally, businesses must secure a physical office or flexi-desk space as per the Free Zone’s regulations. If you plan to reside in the UAE, obtaining an investor or employment visa is necessary.
