WhatsApp quoteIFZA Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time entrepreneurs and established groups. IFZA Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. As we tell every client, turkish construction groups, food brands and textile exporters are major players in the UAE market, which gives Turkish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Free Zone licence is issued. The most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity.
Why IFZA Free Zone
Unlike some zones, IFZA Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
