Creative district for design & fashion. 100% foreign ownership, design / creative service and more license types, UAE residence visas and bank account assistance — handled end-to-end by GoldenKey from Ajman Free Zone.
Dubai Design District is creative district for design & fashion, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around fashion & couture, architecture & interiors and product design. d3 hosts Dubai Design Week and the region's densest cluster of design brands.
Like every UAE free zone, d3 offers 100% foreign ownership, full repatriation of capital and profits, and 0% personal income tax. Qualifying free zone income can benefit from the 0% corporate tax rate under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, while non-qualifying income above AED 375,000 is taxed at 9% — GoldenKey's tax team structures this correctly from day one.
GoldenKey maps your real business model onto d3's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a license that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
d3 issues the following license categories. One license can typically carry multiple related activities — we help you select codes that keep banks and future clients comfortable.
From first approval to final quote, our d3 desk scopes fashion & couture end to end — licence class, authority steps and the visa plan, priced in writing.
Everything architecture & interiors needs inside d3 — classification, external approvals and the immigration file — handled by one consultant, one quote.
One senior consultant owns your product design file in d3 — from trade-name reservation to the bank introduction, at a price fixed upfront.
