About International Freezone Authority (IFZA)
In the United Arab Emirates, the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) is quickly becoming a major investment destination. The IFZA, in collaboration with the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, provides entrepreneurs with a highly personalised company formation package. IFZA-Dubai is an investor's preferred choice for establishing a free zone company because of its low-cost company setup packages, worldwide service standards, and world-class amenities.
IFZA is a new business hub governed by Dubai Silicon Oasis with the purpose of establishing a firm in Dubai. Due to the appealing company setup packages with the possibility of having 3 year and 5 year licencing packages at drastically discounted fees, IFZA became the most popular choice among global investors in a short period of time.
The International Freezone Authority has earned the distinction of being the most cost-effective free zone in Dubai for starting a business. IFZA is a unique Free zone in the UAE because it offers multi-year licence packages and a diverse list of business activities. At Dubai Silicon Oasis, IFZA has ultra-modern high-tech offices and warehouses available for lease.
This Free Zone allows for speedy company formation and licence issuance in just two working days. Consulting License, Service License, Investment License, Commercial Trading License, General Trading License, and Industrial License are the most common licences issued. The lowest general trading licence in Dubai is issued by IFZA. Typically, a general trading licence (covering a variety of commodities) necessitates a large amount of capital in the bank, as well as a significant licence cost. It allows investors to add customised trading activity in addition to general trading activity. As a new Freezone, IFZA has tailored its company formation packages to fit the needs of today's global business leaders. Investors can form a company and receive a licence without having to travel to the UAE.
