Business activities
Port-adjacent location for goods movement. Full activity mapping is confirmed during consultation so your license matches how you actually invoice — and stays compliant when you add revenue lines later.
Office options
Entry packages run on smart-office arrangements. Physical offices, warehouses and plots are available inside the zone when operations need them.
Shareholders
Packages support one to five shareholders. Additional shareholders can be structured with authority approval.
Visas & quota
