Company Formation Dubai
Tap into the dynamic Middle Eastern market by forming a company in Dubai. Our team will support you from planning to achieving your business goals.
Due to attractive tax conditions and generally high quality of life, business-friendly policies, and other factors, Dubai has established itself as an attractive location for businesses in recent years. Increasingly, more companies, entrepreneurs, and foreign investors are relocating their business and residence to the Emirate and running their operations from there. However, setting up a regular company in Dubai requires collaboration with a local citizen or a UAE-based company as a partner. To make company formation attractive for those who do not wish to go the route of a local partner, Dubai has established free zones. There are currently 47 free zones in the UAE, 27 of which are in Dubai. These are designated areas with special regulations. In these zones, regular UAE law does not always apply in the same way as in the rest of the Emirates. This allows foreign individuals to establish a company without a UAE partner and provides access to many associated benefits. The advantages of Dubai’s free zones are numerous:
Popular free zones in Dubai include the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA), the Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC), the Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority (DAFZA), the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), and Dubai Internet City (DIC).
At DW&P, we specialize in the formation of companies in the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) as well as in the UAE in general.
The International Free Zone Authority is a Dubai Free Zone, which is one of the newest additions to the free zones in the UAE. It has an excellent reputation and is also one of the most cost-effective free zones in Dubai. It is regulated by the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) and is known for catering to the needs of entrepreneurs. This free zone is known for providing advanced and flexible regulations for all types of business requirements, including the liquidation of companies in the free zone. The Dubai free zone is located in an ideal area. Meet your clients at a top-notch level, captivate their attention, and make them feel special. Enjoy the great facilities like the golf course, hotel, and restaurants available in Dubai’s free zone. The advantage of forming a company in the International Free Zone Authority in Dubai is that, unlike other free zones, you do not need to be physically present for the initial company formation process. The entire company formation process can be completed remotely. Your presence is only required when opening your business accounts and starting the visa process. Additionally, this free zone is strategically located. To register a company in this free zone, there is a complex procedure to ensure that the company formation process and visa issuance run smoothly.
Our company formation services in Dubai are ideal for entrepreneurs, businesses, and investors who wish to benefit from the advantages of setting up a company in Dubai’s free zones. These services are particularly suitable for:
Our range of services for company formation in Dubai at DW&P Dr. Werner & Partner includes consultancy, company formation, complete management of your company, and on-site support. Our multinational expert team at DW&P supports you in your business activities, and no paid-up share capital is required. Moreover, you do not need an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from your current visa sponsor. Initially, we offer a strategic and technical consultation to review your current company structure and find an optimal solution tailored to your business needs. We assist you in establishing your company in Dubai, including the often time-consuming and complicated process of opening a bank account. We also evaluate whether a visa for you, your family, and employees is advisable and support you with the application process. We find real estate solutions for offices for you and offer various licensing services such as trade licenses, extensions or restrictions of licenses, license modifications, and document notarizations. To establish a free zone company in Dubai, it is advisable to contact us so that we can help you meet business requirements. You can schedule an appointment with our experienced business and tax consultants through the contact form. We accompany you throughout the entire formation process and inform you about company formation packages, visa, and license costs.
By choosing an appropriate business activity and reserving the trade name, as well as selecting the right type of office (Flexi Desk, Flexi Desk+, dedicated workspace, private office, personalized office, etc.), the process can continue. Required documents include the license application form, passport copies, and digital passport photos of the shareholders/partners, as well as copies of Emirates ID and visa for UAE residents. After submitting the documents and paying the fees, you will receive your business license and visas and can then open a bank account for your company. Every formation is preceded by comprehensive consultation. This is because, although formation itself is not a herculean task, the legal consequences, particularly tax-related, as well as the formal requirements for a properly maintained corporation, can quickly trigger a complex chain of causality that cannot be changed retrospectively.

The International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) offers a variety of licenses and business opportunities for companies of all sizes. These include the following options: Professional License: Suitable for companies offering consulting and various types of professional services, such as technical, lifestyle-related, legal, and others. Commercial License: Suitable for companies involved in the import, export, distribution, and storage of certain goods. Industrial License: Allows for the import of raw materials, production, processing, packaging, and export of specific products. Branch Office: Foreign companies can also register a branch office with IFZA Dubai. The activities of the planned branch must match those of the parent company.
Liquidation Procedure for a License from the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) The International Free Zone Authority, like all other free zones, requires a liquidation procedure. Compared to other free zones, this is simpler and faster. The following is required: Shareholders’ resolution to close the company Cancellation of all visas on the license Submission of a liquidation report by a certified auditor Payment of the fee to obtain the certificate of liquidation from IFZA
The corporate tax law applies to all companies registered in the UAE, including free zones in the United Arab Emirates. UAE corporate tax will be levied at zero percent on the taxable income (adjusted net profit) of companies in free zones for the financial year starting on or after June 1, 2023. However, this only applies if you comply with all the regulations of the respective free zone and do not conduct business with mainland companies. Otherwise, there is a possibility of levying 9% corporate tax on taxable income (adjusted net profit) exceeding 375,000 AED. Therefore, you must ensure compliance with all free zone regulations and avoid transactions with mainland companies to benefit from the zero-rate UAE corporate tax. We are happy to provide you with detailed advice on this.
Company formation in a Dubai free zone generally proceeds as follows: Gather all necessary documents for the involved partners (passport, proof of address) Determine the company’s name, allocation of shares, etc. Submit the application and pay the license fee Open a company bank account optionally: Travel to Dubai and obtain visas
