Questions
Can a free zone company sell inside the UAE?
Free zone companies typically trade within the zone or internationally. Selling on the UAE mainland often needs a local distributor or a mainland entity. We explain the options before you choose.
Which free zone should I choose?
It depends on activity, visa needs, and budget. Trading, consulting, and e-commerce each fit different zones. We shortlist based on your plan rather than a one-size package.
