What is the cost of setting up in IFZA?

IFZA costs vary by activity count, visa quota, and office type. StrataLink provides a full itemised quote after a free consultation. No hidden fees, fixed price before we begin.

How long does IFZA company formation take?

Typically 3 to 7 working days. StrataLink prepares all documentation in advance to avoid delays and ensure complete submissions on day one.

Can I have multiple activities on an IFZA license?

Yes. IFZA offers multi-activity licensing, allowing multiple business activities to be operated under a single license. This is one of IFZA's strongest differentiators.

Does IFZA require a physical office?

No. Flexi desk arrangements satisfy both address and visa requirements. Dedicated private offices are available for companies that prefer a physical workspace.

Can I open a UAE bank account with an IFZA license?

Yes. IFZA licenses are accepted by all major UAE banks. StrataLink assists with banking partner matching and the full application process. We work with Mashreq, RAKBANK, Emirates NBD, Wio, Ruya, and Hubpay.

Do I need to visit the UAE to set up an IFZA company?

No. The IFZA process is fully digital and remote. StrataLink manages the entire formation process. You receive your license without ever needing to be physically present in the UAE.

What is IFZA's corporate tax position?

IFZA is a designated free zone. Qualifying IFZA entities on qualifying income are eligible for 0% UAE corporate tax under the UAE Corporate Tax Law. StrataLink's tax team advises on structuring for compliance.
