Free Zone Company Formation

Set Up Your Free Zone Company with Zama Tax & Accounting

Free zone company formation is one of the most efficient ways to start a business in Dubai and across the UAE. Entrepreneurs choose free zones for simplified setup, full ownership, and flexibility in operations. 

Zama Tax & Accounting provides end-to-end free zone company formation, supported by banking assistance, tax structuring, financial planning, and PRO services. Our role is not limited to issuing a license. We help you build a business that can open bank accounts, stay compliant, and scale without friction.

If you are planning to register a free zone company, the first step should always be professional guidance.

Supported UAE Free Zones

Zama assists with company formation across leading UAE free zones, including:

Each free zone differs in licensing scope, cost structure, visa options, banking perception, and tax implications. Choosing the wrong free zone often leads to banking rejections or compliance issues later.

What Factors Should You Consider When Choosing a Free Zone

Choosing a free zone should never be based on price alone. Zama helps clients evaluate key factors before registration.

Business Activity Approval

Not all free zones approve the same activities. Your actual operations must align with the licensed activity to avoid future issues.

Banking Compatibility

Some free zones face stricter banking scrutiny. We assess which free zones are better positioned for corporate bank account approvals.

Visa and Substance Requirements

Visa eligibility, office requirements, and economic substance expectations vary by free zone.

Corporate Tax and QFZP Positioning

Free zone companies must still register for corporate tax. We assess Qualified Free Zone Person eligibility where relevant.

Renewal and Long-Term Costs

Initial setup costs can be misleading. Zama helps you understand renewal fees, compliance costs, and scalability.
