Key steps to start a business:
Free zone authorities require minimum paperwork and duration.
Here are the key steps to set up a business in a free zone.
-
Determine the type of legal entity
-
Choose a trade name
-
Apply for a business licence
-
Choose an office space
-
Get pre-approvals, register your business and get your licence.
In a free zone, you can set up one of the two types of companies:
-
Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ LLC) or Free Zone Company (FZ Co.)
-
Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
The differences lie in the number of shareholders and whether the shareholder is a natural person or a legal person. All free zones might not register both types of companies. We will need to check with individual free zone authorities about the type of company they can register. Refer to the list of free zones and their authorities.
One speciality is Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), which allows forming a limited liability company, which could be a newly formed entity with single or multiple shareholders or wholly owned subsidiary of local or foreign company.
