WhatsApp quoteDMCC Free Zone combines world's #1 free zone (Fitch) with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time founders and established groups. DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week.

Crucially, the most common businesses Omanis open through GoldenKey are in trading, logistics, tourism and real estate, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity.
