IFZA Free Zone is Dubai's fastest-growing free zone — multi-activity licence, top bank access, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. IFZA Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. The most common businesses Lithuanians open through GoldenKey are in fintech, laser technology, food exports and logistics, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity. Lithuanians are a small community of fintech business owners, engineers and traders, so the IFZA Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Lithuanian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why IFZA Free Zone
In practice, one of the reasons our advice is to choose IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. In our experience, 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.
