Company Formation
in Dubai, UAE

A Free Zone company allows 100% foreign ownership, offers tax exemptions, and is governed by the Free Zone Authority. However, it can only trade internationally or within the Free Zone itself — not directly on the UAE mainland. A Mainland company (LLC) can trade anywhere in the UAE and GCC but requires a 51% UAE national sponsor under the Commercial Companies Law. For most Indian entrepreneurs expanding internationally, a Free Zone setup is the recommended starting point.

The right Free Zone depends on your business activity, budget, and visa requirements. DMCC is ideal for trading and commodities. JAFZA suits logistics and industrial businesses. Dubai Internet City (DIC) is best for tech companies. Dubai Media City (DMC) is for media businesses. IFZA and RAK offer cost-effective options for consultancies and service businesses. We help you select the best fit based on your specific needs.

Yes. In UAE Free Zones, there are no foreign ownership restrictions — Indian citizens can own 100% of their company without needing a local sponsor or partner. Both individual and corporate shareholders are permitted. You can set up as a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) with a single shareholder or a Free Zone Company (FZC) with two or more shareholders.

A Free Zone company enables you to sponsor UAE residence visas for yourself, partners, and employees. The number of visas depends on your office type — a flexi-desk typically allows 2–3 visas, while physical office space allocates roughly 1 visa per 10 sq. metres. The visa process includes an entry permit, medical fitness test, and Emirates ID issuance. We handle the entire visa application process for you.

UAE Free Zones offer 0% corporate and personal income tax, 100% repatriation of capital and profits, no currency restrictions, and no import or export duties. You can also apply for a Tax Residency Certificate to take advantage of the UAE's network of 100+ Double Tax Avoidance Agreements. There is no inheritance tax on company shares, making it one of the most tax-efficient jurisdictions globally.

The total cost depends on the Free Zone chosen, type of license (trading, service, or industrial), office space option, and number of visas required. Our packages start from ₹79,999 which covers the license application, establishment card, immigration card, and initial compliance advisory. Additional costs include the Free Zone registration fee, office lease, and visa processing fees — we provide a complete cost breakdown before you commit.
