Introduction
UAE Freezones have become the preferred choice for foreign investors seeking a hassle-free and profitable business environment. With 100% foreign ownership, tax benefits, and world-class infrastructure, Freezones offer a secure and attractive platform for international entrepreneurs.
At MHK Accounting & Taxation UAE, we guide investors in selecting the right Freezone that aligns with their business model and goals.
Key Reasons Foreign Investors Prefer Freezones
2.1 100% Foreign Ownership
Unlike Mainland companies that may require a UAE national partner, Freezones allow full foreign ownership, giving investors complete control over their business.
2.2 Tax Benefits
Freezones often provide 0% corporate tax (for qualifying activities) and full profit repatriation, making them financially attractive.
2.3 Simplified Licensing & Setup
Registration, licensing, and visa processes are faster and simpler compared to Mainland setups.
2.4 World-Class Infrastructure
Freezones such as DMCC, DIFC, RAKEZ offer premium office spaces, logistics support, and ready-to-use facilities.
2.5 Access to International Markets
Many Freezones focus on export-oriented and international trading businesses, providing investors with a global reach.
