WhatsApp quoteAs we tell every client, the following example is a composite of real IFZA Free Zone files handled by GoldenKey for Swiss customers in cleaning & facilities management; details have been generalised.
The starting point
A Swiss entrepreneur from Zurich wanted to launch a cleaning and facilities company serving customers in the UAE and Switzerland. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why IFZA Free Zone
On the ground, after comparing options, IFZA Free Zone was chosen for its Dubai address 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 paperwork from Switzerland. The licence was issued in line with the usual IFZA Free Zone timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
Importantly, 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 Swiss founder considering cleaning & facilities management in IFZA Free Zone.
