Selecting the right Free Zone can make or break your expansion strategy. Rather than defaulting to the most famous hub, weigh these critical elements:
- Industry-specific licenses and permitted activities
- Available infrastructure (warehousing, office space, light manufacturing)
- Customs and logistics advantages for your supply chain
- Tax incentives, fee structures, and repatriation rules
- Proximity to target customers and distribution channels
- Visa quotas, staffing flexibility, and local sponsorship requirements
- Connectivity to ports, airports, and major highways
- Support services (banking, legal, startup accelerators)
By mapping your core business needs against each Free Zone’s strengths, you’ll unlock cost savings, operational efficiency, and faster market access.
