- Key sectors include aviation, freight & logistics and IT & telecommunications, and more than 1600 companies are registered.
- The freezone is conveniently located next to the world’s busiest airport, Dubai International, which has 8000 weekly flights to 140 destinations around the world.
- In addition to full ownership and zero customs duty or taxation, there are no restrictions on labour or currency use and there is direct access to government services like immigration and customs.
- The anticipated timeframe needed to complete the entire incorporation process is no longer than four weeks.
Choosing the right freezone to begin your business transactions from could be a crucial cornerstone of business.
