A DMCC Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. Crucially, 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 straightforward renewal process. The most common businesses Poles open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, furniture, cosmetics and food exports, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity. Poland is one of the fastest-growing EU exporters to the UAE, led by furniture, cosmetics and food, which gives Polish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their DMCC Free Zone licence is released.

Why DMCC Free Zone

DMCC Free Zone is located in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai — central business district, and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 7 business days. DMCC 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.
