Free zones are the especially geographically demarcated areas in UAE permitting 100% foreign ownership to the entrepreneurs setting up their business. The intent behind formation of free zone areas is to support strategic transformations and to boost the investments. The law of mainland of Dubai and Abu Dhabi are not applicable to these free zones as they have different laws and courts. These free zones are being regulated by independent free zone authority which is responsible in issuing operating licenses and regulating the activities of company established in such free zones.

Incorporation and Formation of Local & Offshore Companies in UAE
Offshore companies exist all over the world, as each offshore company formed aims to fulfill a specific purpose or achieve a desired advantage. It is noteworthy that the formation of offshore companies allows them to function as commercial companies that may work in the same manner as local companies within the countries by means of the existence of a memorandum of association, a certificate of incorporation, a trade license, a share certificate, and managers. However, offshore, or virtual companies do not require renting an office, but they require the existence of a service agent for the company in the country of incorporation who has a local address that is used as the company’s address. Offshore or virtual companies enjoy the same protection as limited liability companies, due that the responsibility of the partners is within the respective capital share value of each partner. It should be noted that offshore and virtual companies do not require payment of capital upon incorporation, and they enjoy other advantages of other company types, as they are legally entitled to trade, carry out business transactions, provide services and open bank accounts in all countries of the world in accordance with the requirements of each country.
