Working with IBG was one of the most important step I have taken to ensure a successful foundation for my newly formed company. Working in the UAE, while I lived in the United States, was an insurmountable challenge. Luckily, as I was searching the internet, I saw IBG's website. This is a wonderful, trustworthy and very efficient team of professionals with excellent responsiveness and set of expertise for any business.

After we decide DWC, the procedure was handled in a very fast and organized manner.

1Can a free zone company hold its offices outside the free zone?

As per the ruling issued in 2011, entities (a free zone company or a free zone establishment) operating in free zones can open branches in Dubai. As per Law No. 13 of 2011 on business registration and licensing in the Emirate, it was announced that free zone companies are allowed to conduct business within Dubai (outside their free zone) once they have a DED license or set up a branch in mainland Dubai.

2Can a free zone company do business or trade outside the free zone?

A freezone entity can do business in the Rest of GCC and Internationally from its freezone setup. Also, law no. 13 issued in 2011, states that free zone companies can set up a branch in Dubai to trade legally, without the need of a local sponsor. They will, however, need to have a local service agent. According to the law, the local service agent can be a UAE national or a UAE company which will sponsor employees for the Dubai branch of a free zone company at the Ministry of Labour. The local service agent will have no rights of voting or decision-making in the company.

3Can I obtain financing in Dubai?

Various private sources like banks and investment groups provide financing options, given the entity is more than 2 years old and the business owner is a resident of UAE. Neither the Government of Dubai/UAE nor the Free Zone authority will provide any financing.

4Can I transfer or receive money from outside UAE/Dubai?

As per UAE Laws, you are allowed to receive or transfer capital and profits outside the country.

5How many free zones are there in Dubai?

There are more than 40 Free Zones operating in UAE, with over 20 freezones in Dubai alone. IBG Consulting can make things simple for you by helping you choose the right freezone for your business.
