About Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA)

Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is a free economic zone located in the Jebel Ali area at the far western end of Dubai. JAFZA commenced operations in 1985 with standard size office units and warehouses to provide ready built facilities to customers. In 1990 JAFZA expanded its facilities to include light industrial units. It is the largest free zone in the MENA region.

The Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority is the oldest and most respected of the free zones that have been allowed to operate in the emirate of Dubai. This type of incorporation is allowed to trade internationally and is allowed to own property in the emirate of Dubai.

JAFZA is dubbed the largest free zone in the world; it is definitely the most successful and talked about. With many other new free zones in the region, JAFZA has still maintained this title.

The number of shareholders determine the formation type for the companies being established in Jebel Ali Free Zone.

  • Free Zone Company (FZCO); for two to five shareholders.

I was particularly well received by Christelle, the Managing Partner of the Dubai branch. GCM demonstrated great agility in their quotation process, which was crucial as I was leading a nascent structure in Dubai. The support provided during the administrative procedures for establishing my company in the UAE, along with the responsiveness of the service—especially from one of their team members, Oksana—truly reassured me and gave me confidence during a stressful period of establishing a professional presence abroad. I highly recommend GCM to any professional looking to set up in the UAE or even just to benefit from their advice.
