FREE ZONE LICENSE
Free Zones are economic areas with advantageous tax and economic policies where goods and services can be traded within that area. In the UAE, each individual free zone has a specific focus on one or two commercial categories, such as creative and media companies. Although free zone companies are not allowed to trade outside their free zone, you can work with the distributor who can put your goods or services into the local market.
