The Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone, an investor-friendly business hub, is nestled between Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman. It encompasses both the modern coastal city of UAQ and the inland oasis of Falaj Al Mualla. The zone is governed by H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mu’alla, with H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Rashid Al Mu’alla serving as its Chairman.
Despite being located in the UAE's second-smallest and least populous emirate, the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone (UAQFTZ) is rapidly emerging as a significant business hub. Renowned for its scenic beauty and refreshing beaches, UAQFTZ offers not just leisure but also a secure and thriving business environment across various industries. Its modern legal framework and infrastructure further incentivize investment, fueling its ongoing growth.
The steps are quite simple. Here’s how to open your company in the Umm Al Quwain
The free zone allows for a wide range of businesses to be set up with ease. Pick out the specific activities you wish to conduct, and we’ll help you choose the ideal Umm Al Quwain license type and setup option.
The business name for your Umm Al Quwain company must not already be in use by another firm. It also should not reference anything political or religious. Thus, it’s best to have at least a few options ready for a more hassle-free name registration process.
Prepare the Umm Al Quwain license requirements needed for the entity type you’ve chosen and submit these to the Free Zone authority. They’ll examine your documents, get in touch for any discrepancies, and approve the license should you meet all the necessary criteria.
You may opt to open an account with either a local or an international UAE bank. Our team of experts will help you choose the best bank for your needs and guide you through the whole process.
The next crucial step will be to secure Umm Al Quwain visas for your team, so you can begin your operations. We will be happy to assist you with the needed documents and the application process.
