There are 38 different free zones in the UAE but when most people think of opening a business here, they think of Dubai. People want the Dubai presence, Dubai visa and the prestige that comes with it, especially if they are dealing with clients around the world. It’s like having an extra perk added to your business name just by being located in Dubai.

DMCC Free Zone

Still, one of the most popular areas to setup a business in the UAE is in a Free Zone to take advantage of the 100% ownership and no taxes. The DMCC Free Zone is located in Dubai, specifically in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). You can have many different types of businesses in the DMCC Free Zone, such as restaurants, salon/spa, grocery store, trading company, consulting business and retail shops just to name a few.
