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. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through IFZA Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Put simply, 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. As a rule, czech engineering and manufactured goods have a long-standing market in the Gulf, which gives Czech entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Free Zone licence is released.
