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. An IFZA Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. In practice, for Czech founders, the UAE is around 6 hours from Prague, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Czechia, and English is the business language. On the ground, payments between Czech Republic and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Czech koruna (CZK) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Czech business profiles.
Why IFZA Free Zone
Just as important, popular activities in IFZA Free Zone include trading, services, technology, consultancy and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. In our experience, unlike some zones, IFZA Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. As we tell every client, many Czech founders run IFZA Free Zone companies alongside an existing business in Czech Republic, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
