Logistics & Freight Forwarding in JAFZA

Why JAFZA

In short, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. From day one, one of the reasons we recommend JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. For logistics & freight forwarding, JAFZA offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
