Helpful UAE Free Zone comparison list for startups/freelancers
If anyone here is planning to set up a business in the UAE free zones, I recently compiled a simple comparison list that may help.
I noticed a lot of people get confused between different free zones because each one offers different benefits depending on the business activity, visa needs, office requirements, and budget.
The list includes things like:
- visa eligibility
- office/flexi-desk options
- approximate setup costs
- renewal considerations
- suitable business activities
- remote setup availability
I’m sharing it here because I found the information scattered across different websites and wanted it all in one place.
If mods allow links, here’s the resource: https://www.gryffincapitalist.com/freezone
Hopefully, this saves someone a few hours of research.
