The IFZA Company Formation Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

The journey of company formation in IFZA is designed to be as seamless as possible. While every business is unique, the general business setup steps follow a clear path:

Step 1: Define Your Scope

The initial phase involves determining the nature of your business. This includes selecting the appropriate business license (Commercial, Professional, or Industrial) and confirming your business activities. Choosing the correct legal structure is foundational to the entire process.

Step 2: Documentation and Application Submission

Once the activity and license type are confirmed, you must prepare the necessary legal documents. This typically includes passport copies, a brief profile of the shareholders, and the completed application forms. This documentation is then submitted for official review.

Step 3: License Issuance and Registration

Upon approval, the authorities will issue your official trade license (or commercial license / professional license). Your free zone company is now legally incorporated.

Step 4: Visa and Establishment Card

The final step is activating the company’s establishment card and proceeding with residency visa applications for the shareholders and employees, fully completing the business setup process.
