Free Zone Formation
About Free Zone Company Formation
A UAE free zone company is the most popular choice for foreign entrepreneurs and international businesses entering the UAE market. With 100% foreign ownership, zero corporate and personal income tax, and simplified setup processes, free zones offer a compelling base for trading, services, consulting, technology, and media businesses.
Prism 7 Corporate manages the complete free zone formation process — from jurisdiction selection and trade name reservation through to licence issuance, investor visa, and bank account introduction.
What's Included
Our Free Zone Formation Service
Free Zone Selection & Matching
We compare the relevant free zones against your activity type, visa quota needs, and cost requirements — not every zone suits every business.
Licence Application & Submission
We prepare and submit all documentation for the free zone authority: application forms, share structure, trade name reservation, and Memorandum of Association where required.
Visa Eligibility Planning
Free zone structures determine how many residence visas can be issued under the licence. We plan the entity structure to match your staffing and sponsorship requirements.
Flexi-Desk & Office Arrangements
Most free zones require a registered address at minimum. We handle flexi-desk, shared office, and dedicated office arrangements as part of the formation.
100% Foreign Ownership
All UAE free zone companies allow full foreign ownership with no local partner requirement — a key advantage over certain mainland structures.
Cost Estimate & Package Comparison
We provide a clear breakdown of formation fees, authority charges, and ongoing renewal costs before any commitment is made.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Freezone Company Formation — Key Questions
There are more than 45 freezones across the UAE, spread across all seven emirates. Each is administered by its own authority and focuses on specific sectors or activities — from DMCC for commodities and trading, to DIFC and ADGM for financial services, to Dubai Internet City and Dubai Silicon Oasis for technology, to industrial-focused zones in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
A freezone company cannot directly sell goods or services to the UAE mainland without engaging a licensed mainland distributor or establishing a mainland branch. Services delivered digitally or remotely are treated differently and are generally permissible. If your primary customers are UAE mainland businesses or consumers, a mainland licence may be more appropriate, or a dual-entity structure can be considered.
Visa allocations depend on the freezone and the type of office package chosen. A flexi-desk or virtual office package may allow one to two visas; a dedicated office entitles you to more. The shareholder or director of the freezone company can apply for a UAE residence visa, and employees can be sponsored under the company. We advise on the visa quota relevant to your chosen zone and package.
UAE Corporate Tax (effective June 2023) applies to taxable income above AED 375,000 at a 9% rate. Qualifying freezone entities can benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they meet specific conditions set by the Federal Tax Authority — including not conducting business with the UAE mainland. Our team can advise on whether your proposed structure qualifies for the preferential rate.
Annual licence renewal is required and must be completed before the expiry date to avoid penalties. Depending on the freezone and activity, you may also have audited financial statement requirements, corporate tax registration and filing obligations, substance requirements for certain activities, and compliance with MOHRE regulations if you employ staff. We manage renewal and compliance calendars for clients to ensure nothing lapses.
