Types of companies in the UAE
There are more than 40 free economic zones In the UAE. Companies in these zones are exempt from paying taxes.
Such companies must obtain a license and annually renew it.
If such a company imports products into the territory of the FEZ, it does not pay any duties. When importing into the territory of the UAE it will have to pay a custom duty (state duty on the importation of goods) in the amount of 5%, as well as VAT.
Companies in free zones can operate throughout the world, as well as within the territory of the zone itself. In some free zones, “virtual” offices (flexi desk, smart office) are allowed, which are provided by the free zone itself
The company is eligible for visas. The number of visas depends on the rented office. In some free zones, company shareholders are eligible for an investor visa. It is possible to register companies without visas
Some free zones require an annual audit report
An enterprise in the free zone can belong to a citizen of any country.
Since there are many free zones, and each of them has its own “specialization”, they offer different benefits and opportunities for working within the free zone. There is an unspoken gradation of “prestige” and “respectability” of the free zone from the point of view of banks. Our managers will help you choose the most optimal company from all free zones in the UAE. Contact us for help.
In the United Arab Emirates, there are still offshore companies.
Foreign ownership of such companies is allowed. Offshore companies do not have the right to operate in the UAE, as well as work with other companies registered in the UAE, but have the right to open a bank account in the UAE.
The company cannot rent an office in the UAE. An offshore company’s address is the address of its registered agent.
The company is not eligible for visas
There are 3 offshore zones in the UAE – RAK ICC, Ajman Offshore and JAFZA Offshore

Our specialists will help you deal with all questions regarding the registration and maintenance of offshore companies. Contact us.
A company established in the UAE outside a free economic zone or offshore zone will be considered a local company. Such legal entities can operate both abroad and in the country of registration without any restrictions.
Ownership of such a company by foreign nationals is allowed. There are some activities to which this permit does not apply. Then you will have to involve a local citizen in cooperation, who will have to become one of the shareholders of the company.
Such companies must obtain a license and annually renew it.
Local companies can operate throughout the country. The local company has no restrictions on work. But it must work within the framework of the obtained license. Also, it can participate in government tenders.
An office is required. You can rent both a separate office and an office in a business center (from 10 sq. m.).
Local companies are the most respectable in terms of UAE banks. Having such a company, you will always look good in the eyes of partners and banks, they are much more willing to open accounts for such companies.
From June 1, 2023, local companies will pay a 9% income tax. The tax is charged on company profits over 375,000 AED (about 100,000 USD)
