Company Setup with DAFZA (Dubai Airport Free Zone) in Dubai
Dubai · Freezone
DAFZA is location-driven: it sits directly beside Dubai International Airport, so if your business depends on the quick movement of goods, it makes logistics materially easier. It is also one of the older zones, so its processes tend to run more smoothly than newer setups.
A DAFZA licence, right beside Dubai's airport
DAFZA (Dubai Airport Free Zone) sits directly beside Dubai International Airport, so if your business moves goods, this location makes logistics materially easier. It is also one of the older, more established zones in Dubai, which means its processes tend to run smoothly rather than throwing up the surprises you get with newer setups.
DAFZA licenses trading, logistics, aviation services and electronics businesses. If quick movement of stock through the airport is central to what you do, that adjacency is the real reason to be here. It is a location advantage you cannot buy anywhere else in the city.
To get your exact DAFZA price, we will confirm it for you in one free call. It depends on your activity, your visa count and the tier you need. Rather than quote you a figure that will not match your setup, we price it properly against what you are actually doing.
What you'll need, and how long it takes
Most freezone setups complete in 3 to 15 working days once documents are submitted, depending on the package and visa count.
The documents are straightforward: passport copies for each shareholder, a company name and your chosen business activities, and shareholder details. We tell you the exact list for your specific application up front, so nothing bounces back.
We handle the whole thing end to end, including trade name, licence, establishment card, visas and Emirates ID, through the same team, so you are not handed between providers at each step. See how our free zone company formation works.
Getting the bank account open
A licence without a working bank account is not much use, and this is where most setups stall. We have opened 1,000+ corporate accounts and have named contacts at 10+ UAE banks, so we know exactly what each compliance team will ask before they ask it. We prepare your file to that standard and manage it through to the account being live. See our bank account opening service.
Not sure DAFZA is the right fit?
There is often more than one good route in Dubai. We also register clients directly with IFZA and Meydan, both of which carry a Dubai address and strong banking relationships. We will walk you through the trade-off against your actual activity, budget and visa needs before you commit to anything.
With 19+ years and 1,400+ companies started, we will get you to the right zone and the real cost, fast.
