The setting / opening of production / factory in the Free Trade Zones.
In case if the planned or expanding business is more orientated on the international trade relations, we recommend registering a company in one of the multiple Free Trade Zones.
It is important to note, that such free trade zones are located practically all around the entire United Arab Emirates. The location can affect some features and specifics of the zone. For example, if you choose the zone close to the Dubai mega polis, the rental costs for warehouses and production premises are relatively high. In turn you will save on engineering communications and electrical energy expenses as well as gain a significant advantage in transportation solutions and logistics.
Besides, the Free Trade Zones located close to Dubai are already part of the big city.
If the necessity to be close the megapolis is not that crucial, you can choose other free trade zones, as there are many of them in the Emirates. The remote Free Trade Zones will allow reducing expenses on personnel accommodation, rent and other expenses. Amongst many nuances and advantages, we can draw the main key factors affecting the choice.
The key factors:
- The nature of business activity.
- The sales policy and the choice of market (local and international).
