About DMCC Free Zone

Why DMCC Free Zone

DMCC Free Zone is world's #1 free zone — the premium choice for commodity traders and global brands, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. To be clear, founders choose DMCC Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. Interior Design & Fit-out in DMCC Free Zone means interior design consultancy, space planning and, with the right approvals, fit-out execution, and it is licensed as a professional activity. GoldenKey has licensed interior design studio businesses for clients in DMCC Free Zone and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.

DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) is the world's most interconnected free zone and Dubai's leading hub for trade and commodities, headquartered in Almas Tower, Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). Over 20,000 member companies work across 87 towers in a freehold community where offices can be rented or bought from private landlords. Company setup is 100% digital — pre-approval, registration and licensing are completed online in around 2–3 weeks without visiting Dubai. Facilities start with a flexi desk (up to 3 visas), serviced offices (4–5 visas) and physical offices (1 visa per 9 sqm). GoldenKey manages the whole DMCC process for you: application, name reservation, activities, e-signing, office selection and visas.

Day to day, unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. Office options in DMCC Free Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite, showroom or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. For interior design & fit-out, DMCC Free Zone offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
