IT & Software in the UAE for Serbians

Software development, SaaS, app development, IT consulting and managed services

Setting up a company in IFZA Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. As we tell every client, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, IFZA Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. Day to day, external approvals for it & software are: none beyond the licence; data-hosting activities may need TDRA notification. As we tell every client, the most common businesses Serbians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, construction, agriculture exports and hospitality, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity.

Why IFZA Free Zone

As we tell every client, 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. Crucially, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo business owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
