Step-by-Step Process to Start a Business in Dubai Freezones

   • Dubai CommerCity: Tailored for E-commerce businesses
2. Decide on Your Business Activity
   Define your business scope clearly (e.g., consultancy, trading, import/export, logistics, E-commerce). This ensures your license matches your operations and avoids delays in approvals.

   • Flexi desks: Affordable options for startups
