If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, DMCC Free Zone deserves a close look for its world's #1 free zone (Fitch) and uncomplicated renewal process. DMCC Free Zone is world's #1 free zone — the premium choice for commodity traders and global brands, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Importantly, for Danish founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Copenhagen, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Denmark, and English is the working language. Crucially, danish shipping and logistics groups are major operators at Jebel Ali and across the Gulf, which gives Danish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their DMCC Free Zone licence is issued.
