What it is
Fast, flexible, built for speed
IFZA is a Dubai free zone known for quick licensing and broad activity coverage. It allows 100 percent foreign ownership and visa quotas that scale with your premises. You select activities, reserve a trade name, secure initial approval, sign incorporation papers, and register a flexi desk or an office. The licence and establishment card follow, then banking, VAT where relevant, and visas. We keep each step tight so you can start trading quickly.

We prepare incorporation forms, arrange signing, and complete any approvals required for your activity mix.
Premises and registration
Choose a flexi desk or an office. We register the facility so the license and visas can be issued.

IFZA issues the trade licence and establishment card. We create your compliance profile where required.
