Free zone company setup in the UAE.
A free zone licence matched to your activity, with registration, documents and approvals handled by one experienced team.
Overview
What is a Free Zone Company?
A free zone company is licensed by a free zone authority, not by the Dubai mainland authorities. Free zones are designed around particular business types and offer their own packages, office options and licensing rules. Each free zone works differently, so choosing the right one for your activity matters.
Emirco helps you compare options, prepare your documents, obtain your licence and complete any approvals needed. You get one point of contact from your first call to your licence.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a free zone and a mainland company?
A free zone company is typically limited to operating within its zone or through a distributor, with some exceptions, while a mainland company can trade directly across the UAE market. Each has different licensing, office and ownership rules. We help you choose.
Can a foreigner fully own a free zone company?
Many free zones allow full foreign ownership, but rules vary by zone and activity. We confirm them for your case before you commit.
Which free zone should I choose?
It depends on your activity, budget, office needs and where your customers are. Tell us about your business and we will explain the options.
Can a free zone company do business on the mainland?
Often there are restrictions, though options exist depending on the zone and activity. We explain what applies to your situation before you decide.
Which external approvals might I need?
It depends on your activity. We check this for your case and handle the process.
How long does setup take?
It depends on the free zone, your activity and how quickly documents are ready. We give you an expected timeline up front.
