Frequently Asked Questions
Free zone or mainland — which should I choose?
Free zones are ideal for 100% ownership, lower cost and international trade; mainland is best if you need to trade directly within the UAE market or bid for government contracts. We match the licence to your activity.
Do I need a physical office?
Many free zones allow flexi-desk or virtual office options, while mainland licences may require physical space depending on activity.
Is corporate tax applicable?
The UAE applies a 9% corporate tax above a profit threshold, with qualifying free-zone income potentially at 0%. We advise on your specific situation.
