Step-by-Step Remote Business Setup
Incorporation of a Free Zone business at IFZA is a straightforward process for business setup consultants. This remote business registration process is identical for both individual and corporate shareholders, however, the supporting documents vary.
1. Consultation and Proposal
Our process begins with a consultation to establish the licencee’s requirement, followed by a tailored proposal outlining the best type of license, business activities, visa package and office solutions.
2. Documentation
Next, we’ll require a set of documents including the license application form (including UBO), passport copy, digital passport photo, Emirates ID, and visa copy for UAE residents.
3. Processing
Once the documents are received, our support team will register your shareholder’s documents on the registration portal. Once approved, the Authority will issue two E-legal forms, to be signed prior to issuance of incorporation documents.
4. License Approval
The Authority approves the application.
5. MOA/AOA Process
A digital Memorandum of Agreement/Articles of Association will be sent to all shareholders for e-signatures.
6. License Issuance
A soft copy is sent via email with the original license available for collection from our office upon request.
