WHY CHOOSE DAFZA

Types of Company Formation in DAFZA

  1. Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC)
    An FZ-LLC is the most common form of company formation in DAFZA. It allows for 100% foreign ownership, and shareholders’ liability is limited to their share capital. This structure is suitable for various business activities and provides flexibility in management.

  2. Branch Office
    Companies incorporated outside of the UAE can establish a branch office in DAFZA to conduct business under their parent company’s name. This setup allows the branch to engage in commercial activities similar to the parent company’s. However, the parent company is responsible for the liabilities incurred by the branch.

  3. Representative Office
    A representative office serves as a liaison for foreign companies looking to promote their business in the UAE without engaging in direct trading activities. This type of office can conduct market research and promote the company’s products and services but cannot engage in commercial transactions.

  4. Sole Establishment
    A Sole Establishment is a business owned and operated by a single individual. This structure suits entrepreneurs who wish to maintain complete business control while benefiting from 100% ownership. However, the owner is personally liable for the establishment’s debts.

  5. Specialized Licensing
    DAFZA also offers specialized licenses tailored to specific industries, such as media and telecommunications, e-commerce, and logistics. These licenses come with distinct benefits and requirements, allowing businesses to cater to niche markets within the free zone.
