About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone
From day one, setting up a company in IFZA Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. On the ground, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, IFZA Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. the Antwerp-Dubai diamond corridor is one of the world's most important, anchored by DMCC, which gives Belgian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Free Zone licence is granted. GoldenKey has Belgian clients from Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent, and our consultants understand the papers issued in Belgium and how to attest them for the UAE.
Day to day, office options in IFZA Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. Day to day, one of the reasons we recommend IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. Many Belgian founders run IFZA Free Zone companies alongside an existing business in Belgium, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
