Business Setup in IFZA
Set up your company in IFZA Dubai with complete support from DXB VIP. We help you choose the right IFZA license and business activities, prepare the incorporation documents, complete the application, and coordinate residence visa and banking support after the company is registered.
Start Your Business in IFZA
The International Free Zone Authority IFZA is a Dubai-based free zone authority headquartered in Dubai Silicon Oasis. It is designed for entrepreneurs and companies that want a UAE free-zone structure with 100% foreign ownership, a broad choice of business activities and the ability to complete much of the company formation process remotely.
An IFZA free zone company can be used for many service, consulting, commercial, digital and e-commerce business models. The exact activities permitted under the company are determined by the activities selected on the trade licence.
For founders comparing free-zone options, IFZA UAE is commonly considered for its flexible licensing structure, multiple visa packages and relatively straightforward incorporation process.

Official IFZA guidance states that up to seven activities can be included under a single license.
Remote Company Formation

Depending on the selected package, shareholders and employees can proceed with UAE residence visa applications after company formation.
