Choosing the right free zone in the UAE can shape your business’s future success—and cost. With over 45+ free zones spread across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and beyond, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Many entrepreneurs ask:
“Should I go for a low-cost setup, or should I prioritize flexibility and location?”
This guide simplifies the decision. We break down everything you need to know—from business activity to capital needs—to help you choose the best UAE free zone that aligns with your goals.
Each free zone offers:
100% foreign ownership
Zero corporate and income tax
Full repatriation of profits
Business-friendly registration process
But beyond the surface, every zone has unique rules, pricing, and facilities that impact your operations. Making the wrong choice can mean higher costs, limited activities, or future relocation.
Free zones are activity-specific.
Consulting or advisory? SHAMS and IFZA are flexible.
E-commerce or trading? UAQ FTZ and RAKEZ are low-cost and logistics-friendly.
FinTech or digital assets? Consider ADGM or RAK DAO.
Manufacturing or industrial? RAKEZ or KEZAD might fit.
Some zones limit you to one category per license, while others allow multiple activities under the same license.
OfinGlobal helps you shortlist zones where your chosen activities are already approved—saving you time and rework.
Not every business needs a physical office—but some free zones require it.
Consider what your client-facing, logistics, and visa needs are before locking in a facility.
Some free zones require a minimum share capital, others just a declaration.
OfinGlobal helps clarify which free zones require actual deposits vs. just declarations.
License fees vary based on:
Number of visa slots
Office type
Activity category
Watch out for hidden costs like visa processing, establishment cards, and Emirates ID.
OfinGlobal gives you transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no last-minute surprises.
If you’re planning to grow or bring in investors:
