IFZA Free Zone Company Setup
A popular Dubai free zone with flexible packages and no owner presence needed.
IFZA free zone company setup gives you a Dubai licence from the International Free Zone Authority with 100% foreign ownership and no requirement to be in the UAE to incorporate. IFZA is one of Dubai's most-used free zones for consultancy, services and e-commerce, built on package-based pricing that scales with your activities and visa count.
A free zone company keeps 100% of its shares in your name; UAE corporate tax of 9% applies only on taxable profit above AED 375,000, and there is no personal income tax. We set up your IFZA company end to end, from the licence and visas to the corporate bank account, while you stay overseas.
What should you know about IFZA?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in IFZA?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where IFZA is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.

You deal with one advisor, on one fixed quote, from the first question to a live company and a stamped visa.
Frequently asked questions
-
Do I need to be in the UAE to set up an IFZA company?
No. IFZA does not require the founder to be physically present in the UAE during incorporation, so we can set it up while you are overseas.
-
What is IFZA good for?
IFZA is a flexible, package-based Dubai free zone popular for consultancy, services and e-commerce, with 100% foreign ownership and no owner presence needed.
-
Does an IFZA company pay tax?
There is no personal income tax. UAE corporate tax is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000, and a qualifying free zone company may access a 0% rate on qualifying income; we register you and advise on which applies.
-
How many visas does an IFZA licence include?
The visa allocation depends on the package and facility you choose rather than a single fixed number, so we match the package to the headcount you plan before you commit.
