Launch your business through the right UAE free zone — with streamlined setup, investor-friendly regulations, and full flexibility for international operations.
The UAE is home to over 40 free zones, each designed to attract specific industries and business types. Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, zero personal income tax, simplified setup processes, and in many cases, the ability to operate with no physical office requirement.
Choosing the right free zone for your specific activity, visa requirements, and commercial objectives makes a significant difference in cost, flexibility, and long-term outcomes. AM Consultancies has established relationships across the UAE’s key free zones and will guide you to the jurisdiction that best fits your goals — not just the one that is easiest to recommend.

Our process
Needs Assessment
We review your business activity, intended client base, visa requirements, and budget to shortlist the most suitable free zones.
Free Zone Selection
We present a clear comparison of your top options — including cost, visa quota, office requirements, and activity scope — and guide you to the right decision.
Application Submission
We prepare and submit your application to the chosen free zone authority along with all required documentation.
License & Share Certificate
Once approved, we coordinate the issuance of your trade license, share certificate, and Memorandum of Association.
Establishment Card & Visa
We assist with the establishment card and initiate your investor or employee visa applications.
Corporate Bank Account
We support you through the banking process with preparation, documentation, and introductions to suitable UAE banks.
A free zone company can work with clients in other free zones and internationally. To trade directly with UAE mainland clients or government entities, the company would need a mainland license or a local distributor in arrangement.
This depends on the free zone and package selected. Entry-level packages often include 1–3 visas. Office-based packages can support more. We will advise based on your requirements.
Many free zones offer flexi-desk or shared workspace packages that fulfil the address requirement without requiring a dedicated private office. This is ideal for lean startups and remote-first businesses.
Most free zone licenses can be issued within 3 to 7 working days from submission of complete documentation.
