Fujairah Free Zone Establishment (FZE)

A Free Zone Establishment is a single-shareholder limited liability company. It is the simplest structure for founders who own the business alone, with limited liability and full foreign ownership.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

  • Founders unsure whether a sole-shareholder company can later add partners.
  • Confusion between FZE and sole proprietorship.
  • Liability exposure when trading personally.
The GoldenKey approach

We identify the real requirement, explain it plainly, and handle the steps — so you understand what you are signing before you sign it.

Limited liability

Personal assets separate from the company.

Single owner

One shareholder, individual or corporate.

Convert later

Add shareholders by converting to an FZC.

Bank-friendly

Standard structure recognised by UAE banks.

Limits & eligibility

Good to know

  • Free zone entities sell goods to the UAE mainland through customs or a distributor.
  • Regulated activities (food, medical, media, petroleum) need additional approvals.
  • Visa allocation follows facility size; banks decide independently on accounts.
  • Corporate tax applies at 9% above AED 375,000 profit; qualifying free zone income may be 0% subject to conditions.
