Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main differences between free zone companies and mainland companies?
The key differences include: free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, while mainland companies may require local sponsorship for certain activities; free zone companies enjoy tax and customs benefits not available to mainland businesses; free zones have restrictions on business activities within the UAE mainland without a local agent, while mainland companies can operate throughout the UAE; free zones often offer simplified setup procedures and dedicated support services; and most free zones require physical presence within their designated areas, while mainland businesses have more location flexibility.
Can a free zone company do business in the UAE mainland?
Free zone companies face certain restrictions when conducting business on the UAE mainland. They generally cannot sell directly to the local market without going through a local distributor or agent. They cannot establish branches outside the free zone without separate mainland registration. However, they can provide services to mainland clients if the services are delivered from the free zone, sell to mainland businesses that resell their products, and participate in government tenders with appropriate approvals.
How long does the free zone company formation process take?
The timeline for free zone company formation typically ranges from 1-3 weeks, depending on the free zone, documentation readiness, and selected package. Some free zones offer fast-track options that can complete the process in as little as 3-5 working days. Factors affecting timeline include document preparation time, external approvals required for certain activities, and processing time variations between free zones. Our streamlined process ensures the fastest possible setup within regulatory timeframes.
