GoldenKey
MENA's leading technology business community. 100% foreign ownership, service / tech and more licence types, UAE residence visas and bank account assistance — handled end-to-end by GoldenKey from Ajman Free Zone.
Dubai Internet City is mENA's leading technology business community, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around software & cloud, ai & data and cybersecurity. Launched in 1999, DIC anchors the region's largest cluster of global technology companies.
Like every UAE free zone, DIC 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 DIC's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a licence that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
DIC issues the following licence categories. One licence can typically carry multiple related activities — we help you select codes that keep banks and future clients comfortable.
