List of the best services of the International Free Zone Authority

The International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) has undoubtedly become one of the most popular free zones in the UAE. It is strategically located in Dubai and offers many advantages for investors who want to start their own business.

Licenses from IFZA

The Free Zone offers investors the opportunity to carry out up to 3 types of activities under one IFZA license. However, there is an additional fee for this. The advantage of opening a company in a free zone is the opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors to combine professional and commercial activities under one license.

IFZA is one of the free zones in the UAE, which does not consider e-commerce as a separate type of activity. However, an entrepreneur has the opportunity to sell goods on online platforms with a general trading license. You also do not need to have a warehouse in free zones, and you can only use a virtual office. Consider the licenses issued by the jurisdiction.
