WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, this illustrative scenario shows how a Pakistani founder set up a perfume and cosmetics business in IFZA Free Zone with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Pakistani entrepreneur from Karachi wanted to launch a perfume and cosmetics business serving customers in the UAE and Pakistan. The priorities were a credible licence, a residency visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why IFZA Free Zone
After comparing options, IFZA Free Zone was chosen for its Dubai address and because perfume & cosmetics trading 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 paperwork from Pakistan. The licence was released in line with the usual IFZA 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 perfume & cosmetics trading. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
To be clear, 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 Pakistani founder considering perfume & cosmetics trading in IFZA Free Zone.

Frequently asked questions
Can my family from Pakistan join me?
Once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Pakistan and the UAE?
It can. The UAE and Pakistan 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.
Do Pakistanis need a UAE visa before applying for IFZA Free Zone?
No. You can apply for the licence from Pakistan with scanned papers, and the investor residency visa is completed afterwards.
