Dubai has become one of the most sought-after destinations for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to establish their presence in the Middle East. Among the various business setup options available, Free Zone Establishment (FZE) stands out as a preferred choice for many investors. In this guide, we will explore what an FZE is, its benefits, and how you can set up one with the help of Links Corporate Consultants.
What is a Free Zone Establishment (FZE)?
A Free Zone Establishment (FZE) is a type of company that can be formed in Dubai’s free zones, with a single shareholder owning 100% of the business. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to enjoy full ownership without the need for a local sponsor.
Benefits of Setting Up an FZE in Dubai
Choosing an FZE in Dubai comes with a range of advantages, including:
100% Foreign Ownership: Investors have complete control over their company without needing a local Emirati sponsor.
Tax Benefits: Many free zones offer zero corporate and personal tax, as well as exemptions from import and export duties.
Full Repatriation of Profits: Businesses can repatriate 100% of their profits and capital without any restrictions.
Strategic Location: Dubai’s free zones offer easy access to global markets, making it a prime hub for international trade.
Easy Business Setup: Free zones provide streamlined registration processes, minimal paperwork, and business-friendly regulations.
