WhatsApp quoteFounders choose IFZA Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. Setting up a company in IFZA Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. The most common businesses Czechs open through GoldenKey are in engineering, glass and crystal, aviation and software, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity. 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 issued.
Why IFZA Free Zone
For most clients, unlike some zones, IFZA Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Office options in IFZA Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
