Holding Company in the UAE for Danes

Why IFZA Free Zone

As we tell every client, one of the reasons we recommend IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. IFZA Free Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.
