WhatsApp quoteThis illustrative scenario shows how a Hungarian founder set up a media production company in DMCC Free Zone with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Hungarian entrepreneur from Budapest wanted to launch a media production company serving customers in the UAE and Hungary. The priorities were a credible licence, a residency visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why DMCC Free Zone
After comparing options, DMCC Free Zone was chosen for its world's #1 free zone (Fitch) and because media & content production is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Hungary. The licence was issued in line with the usual DMCC Free Zone timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to media & content production. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Hungarian founder considering media & content production in DMCC Free Zone.
