Latvian founder launches a cleaning and facilities company in JAFZA

Illustrative client scenario

The following example is a composite of real JAFZA files handled by GoldenKey for Latvian customers in cleaning & facilities management; details have been generalised.

The starting point

A Latvian entrepreneur from Riga wanted to launch a cleaning and facilities company serving customers in the UAE and Latvia. The priorities were a credible licence, a UAE residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.

Why JAFZA

To be clear, after comparing options, JAFZA was chosen for its world's largest port-adjacent free zone and because cleaning & facilities management 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 Latvia. The licence was released in line with the usual JAFZA timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.

Banking and tax

In short, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to cleaning & facilities management. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.

The outcome

The business was invoicing clients 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 Latvian founder considering cleaning & facilities management in JAFZA.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a double taxation agreement between Latvia and the UAE?

Yes. The UAE and Latvia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.

Can my family from Latvia join me?

Once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.

Can a Latvian citizen own 100% of a company in JAFZA?

Yes. Latvians can own the full share capital of a JAFZA company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
