JAFZA Company Formation for Germans

Why JAFZA

One of the reasons we recommend JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days. Crucially, for Germans, the practical advantages of JAFZA are the ease of travel between Germany and the UAE, English is the working language, and German-speaking advisers are available in Dubai, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
