Frequently asked questions
Is an audit required for a SAIF Zone company?
Requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current SAIF Zone rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
What is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in SAIF Zone?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in SAIF Zone are usually the same.
Can a SAIF Zone company do business on the UAE mainland?
A SAIF Zone company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
