Accounting & Bookkeeping in the UAE for Icelanders

Why IFZA Free Zone

To be clear, one of the reasons we point clients to IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. 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 granted.
