What is a Free Zone Company Setup?
The UAE has special economic zones called Free Zones. These zones offer perks like full foreign ownership, no sponsorship requirement, no taxes, and simplified processes. A company registered and operating in a free zone is called a Free Zone company setup.
Can I own a free zone company alone?
Yes, many Free Zones in the UAE allow a single owner with 100% control of the company. However, in some Free Zones, you must have more than one owner for business registration. If you want to set up a company with 100% ownership, you can get in touch with a business consultant, like Avyanco, for guidance.

Can I convert my existing free zone company to a Dubai mainland company?
