UAE free zones, with the number of zones increasing, their impact on the uae economy has deepened.

The Jebel Ali free Zone being the first UAE free zone in the country has created the benchmark for regulations & incentives.

Its rapid growth has also provided a powerful economic inspiration to the other emirates, which have set up their zones to attract investment.

UAE free zones main mission is to be the free zone management, consultants and advisors of choice by providing world class, technically advanced, transparent and focused business services that allow our partners and clients to thrive in the global market.

Once a legal presence has been established in UAE Free Zones, the business will need to lease premises or land and acquire an operating license from the FZA.

Different types of licenses apply in the different types of free zone, however, in general companies with trade and industrial licenses can only conduct business within the Free Zone or abroad.

To sell their products in the UAE, a UAE official agent is required.
