From São Paulo to San Diego, entrepreneurs across the Americas are increasingly looking beyond their borders for better opportunities. Rising taxes, economic uncertainty, and regulatory hurdles have pushed many to explore safer, more flexible options for business and lifestyle. One destination stands out: the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — and more specifically, its Free Zones.
What is a Free Zone license?
A Free Zone license allows you to legally establish and operate a company in the UAE, with full foreign ownership and access to residency visas. Free Zone, are one of the most affordable and streamlined options — ideal for freelancers, consultants, tech startups, and remote workers.
