GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through DMCC Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Put simply, setting up a company in DMCC Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Oman and the UAE share a land border and extensive trade, with many Omani businesses using Dubai for international reach, which gives Omani entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their DMCC Free Zone licence is granted. In short, for Omani entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 1 hour, or a 4 to 5 hour drive from Muscat, same time zone as the UAE, and Arabic and English are both used daily.
Why DMCC Free Zone
Unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. Home to the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX).
