Advantages of the FCC Free Zone
Among all the free UAE zones where you can engage in creative activities and provide services, Free Zone Fujairah Creative City stands out with the following advantages:
- the lowest registration fee, which is 1096 USD (4000 AED – dirham);
- the absence of requirements for depositing the authorized capital into the company’s personal account;
- flexibility of managing permitted types of activities – if the direction you need is not on the list, it can be added, provided that this type of business does not contradict the spirit of creativity inherent in this free economic zone;
- quick company registration – you can open a business in this free zone in just 2-3 days (in other Emirates, for example, Dubai or Abu Dhabi, this period is 14-25 days).
In addition, individuals employed in the UAE do not require employer consent to open a company in the FCC zone.
