As a rule, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, IFZA Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and routine renewal process. An IFZA 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. As we tell every client, typical examples of this activity include bookkeeping, VAT filing, corporate tax services and payroll outsourcing, which can as a rule sit together on one IFZA Free Zone licence. Slovenian pharmaceutical and engineering exports reach the Gulf via Dubai, which gives Slovenian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Free Zone licence is issued.
Why IFZA Free Zone
Just as important, one of the reasons we point clients to 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 company owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
