About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through JAFZA company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. JAFZA combines world's largest port-adjacent free zone with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Real Estate Brokerage in JAFZA means brokering the sale and leasing of property on behalf of owners and buyers, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. GoldenKey has licensed real estate brokerage businesses for clients in JAFZA and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is Dubai's flagship free zone, built around Jebel Ali Port and next to Al Maktoum International Airport. It is the natural home for trading, logistics, light industry and regional headquarters that move goods in and out of the UAE. Companies are formed as an FZE (one shareholder), an FZCO (two or more shareholders) or a Branch, with 100% foreign ownership. Facilities range from a 6 sqm workstation to offices from 27 sqm, warehouses from 313 sqm, showrooms and plots of land — the facility you lease decides your visa quota. GoldenKey handles the full JAFZA application for you: name, licence type, activity selection, facility choice, registration, Computer Immigration Card and visas.
Unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. 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 (Monday to Friday). GoldenKey has licensed real estate brokerage in JAFZA for clients ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.

More about JAFZA
Why the UAE
