Grow your business with our smooth and strategic freezone setup services
Issued by Freezone authorities, a UAE Freezone license offers advantages like simplified licensing and lower operating costs. This setup is ideal for businesses wanting to operate in specialized, industry-focused zones. For instance, a technology company setting up in Dubai Internet City (DIC) can benefit from industry-specific infrastructure, streamlined licensing for tech activities, and reduced costs compared to mainland operations.

A UAE Freezone company gives you unparalleled access to a fast-growing economy. Choose from different business structures (a branch, LLC, or individual entity) to benefit from customized regulations and easy international operations. Freezone setup differs from zone to zone but usually includes registration, licensing, and visas.

With Nimbus Corporate Services, Freezone company formation is efficient, compliant, and tailored to align with UAE’s business regulations. Whether you’re a startup, an SME, or a large company, our team is here to guide you through every step of your setup.

Business Structures for UAE Freezones

Nimbus Corporate Services aids in selecting the best business structure to align with your operational goals. Here are the main ones to choose from.

Freezone Establishment (FZE)

For a single shareholder, an FZE is an ideal structure offering limited liability and full control. It’s meant for entrepreneurs and solo investors looking to fully own their ventures.

Freezone Company (FZC)

An FZC allows businesses of 2 to 5 shareholders, making it ideal for partnerships or multi-investor ventures. It provides limited liability with flexibility in permissible activities.

Branch Office

This business structure allows foreign investors to set up and operate their branch within a Freezone. The branch works under the name of the parent company, giving access to local markets without needing a separate legal entity setup.
