Free zone Business Setup FAQ
Do I need a local sponsor to start a business in Dubai?
No, many activities now allow 100% foreign ownership — especially in Free Zones and selected Mainland sectors. A local sponsor is only required for specific business types.
How long does it take to get a business setup in Dubai?
With the right documents, your business setup documents can be issued in just 1–3 working days, especially for Free Zone and Commercial setup with no special approvals.
Why choose a Free Zone over Mainland or Offshore setup?
Choosing a Free Zone setup gives you full foreign ownership, no customs duties within the zone, quick licensing, and cost-effective packages especially ideal for startups, freelancers, or e-commerce businesses.
Unlike Mainland, there’s no need for a local partner, and unlike Offshore, you get a UAE trade license and visas.
