Dafza offers firms new set up options

Dubai Airport Freezone (Dafza) has launched a tranche of new set up options for companies registering in the Freezone to facilitate business operations and meet tenants’ needs.

Starting with immediate effect, the Freezone will offer companies two types of registrations, a branch or an FZE. The former is for companies who wish to operate as a branch of their mother companies overseas and the latter is for companies wishing to register in the Freezone as a separate entity from the mother company.

In order to support SMEs and foreign investors, Dafza has reduced the minimum capital required for each shareholder from Dh1 million to Dh1,000 per shareholder. The SME set-up allows for sole proprietorship or up to 50 shareholders, the Freezone said today.

Dubai Airport Freezone also added to its list of products a range of new office options for people to run their businesses hassle-free. The first option provides investors with a furnished 50 square meter workspace, with four workstations, a meeting room and rent starting at Dh12,000 per month.

Investors can also choose a smaller space to set up branches of their companies with monthly rent starting at Dh4,000 per month. Both offices include the IT and office supplies necessary to make the process of setting up a new business as easy as possible.

Commenting on Dubai Airport Freezone’s recent development, Amna Rashed Lootah, Executive Director, Finance, Sales and Customer Relations Division,  Dafza, said, "At Dubai Airport Freezone, we are consistently working to enhance and improve our facilities and services to meet the growing demands of the market and provide tenants with solutions that respond to their business needs. The Freezone will constantly evolve to facilitate business set up so that companies can focus their energies on day-to-day operations."

"Amongst an array of business services that we provide to organisations operating out of the Freezone, we ensure that we support new tenants by providing fast paperwork processing, work visas, rapid customs clearance and a wealth of support services through our staff," she added.
