Abu Dhabi Free zone

Abu Dhabi free zones

The biggest of the seven emirates and the federal capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi covers more than 80% of the nation’s total land area. There are a number of free zones in Abu Dhabi that offer an ideal setting for company establishment in the Emirates and a method for international investors to access the country’s full potential.
As part of the Emirate’s effort to diversify its economy and encourage international investment, Abu Dhabi has created free zones. Media and light businesses, logistical businesses, and medium and heavy industries are all set up for business in free zones. The main reason for company registration in Abu Dhabi is the numerous benefits and amenities shareholders obtain by establishing a business in one of the free zones in the emirate.

Setting up a business in abudhabi freezone

To ease and promote foreign investment, the government encourages companies to establish in the free zones of Abu Dhabi. As a result, starting a firm is an easy process that takes little time and is devoid of bureaucratic hurdles.
Free zones are separate jurisdictions that serve as a single-window administration and enable foreign business owners to fully control a firm (100 percent of the shares) without collaborating with an Emirati person. The autonomous government agency known as the Abu Dhabi Free Zone Authority (FZA) is in charge of handling nonresident company registration, issuing operating licenses for free zones, and aiding businesses looking to launch operations.

Key Steps To Start A Business In Free Zone

Determining the type of business activity

You must choose the activity you will do before moving forward with it since each business activity has certain laws and regulations.

Trade name registration

The next step after finishing the first is to register the trade name of your business. You can provide the Abu Dhabi Free Zone Authority with a list of your preferred names. The name must be authorized and properly registered by the authorities if the current firm hasn't already done so in the UAE.

Trade license issuance

The investor can go on to the step of meeting the legal requirements to get an Abu Dhabi free zone license from the free zone authority once they have received the appropriate authorities' permission.

Getting the Free zone authority approval

Investors must request permission for the granting of the business license after receiving initial approval for their trade name and meeting all conditions
