Free zone · UAE
Free zone company setup in the UAE, matched to your business.

What we do
Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, fast setup, and simple compliance, which makes them the default for international and remote businesses. But each free zone has its own activities, costs, visa allocations, and standing with banks, and choosing on price alone causes problems later.
Ezeebiz selects the free zone that fits your activity and banking, not just your budget, then handles licensing, visa allocation, and the corporate account so you are operational quickly.

Questions, answered
Should I choose mainland or a free zone?
Free zone suits international and remote business, with 100% ownership and simpler compliance. Mainland suits trading directly in the UAE market and government work. The decision should follow your banking and three-year plan, not the headline price, which is what the consultation works through.
What are the best free zones in the UAE?
There is no single best free zone. The right one depends on your activity, your visa needs, and which banks accept that free zone for your profile. We match you to the free zone that fits, among more than 40, rather than defaulting to the most advertised.
Is a free zone cheaper than mainland?
Free zone setup is often lower cost upfront, but the right comparison is total cost against what your business actually needs to do. We give you a complete schedule for both so the decision is made on the full picture.
