FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, so you keep full control of your business without a local sponsor.
What is the difference between a free zone and a mainland company?
A mainland company can operate anywhere in the UAE and serve the local market without restrictions.
