A company allows executing resident visas UAE for owners and employees of a company.

A free zone offers different companies for registration, while for some of them it is not necessary to rent a real physical office but a rented “dedicated” or “shared” desk is suitable (rented table in an office).

It is possible to establish a company with a freelancer’s license.

A free zone was established in the emirate Fujairah in 2007 to create conditions and promote activity in the sphere of innovations, art, media communications, design and technologies.

A trade zone is especially attractive for business that flows along with creative trends.

This zone is often used to register companies that require a service license for working in such directions as marketing, broadcast management, publishing, media services, consulting, music and entertainment, radio broadcasting, shooting, information-technical maintenance, news agencies, design, and education.

Potential owners of companies should notify of their citizenship and place of birth, so that to evaluate if prior approval for them is mandatory.
