Guide for Slovenian founders · around 6 hours via Vienna or Istanbul from Ljubljana
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. Setting up a company in DMCC Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. The most common businesses Slovenians open through GoldenKey are in pharmaceuticals, engineering, tourism and wood products, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity.

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.
