Choosing the wrong Free Zone can cost more than just money โ it can limit your business growth, hiring plans, and operational scope.
โ #1: Choosing Based on Cost Alone
That "low fee" could come with hidden charges, poor support, or limited scalability.
โ #2: Ignoring Business Activity Compatibility
Not all Free Zones support every license type. Double-check their approved activity list.
โ #3: Overlooking Visa Eligibility & Quota
Planning to hire or sponsor dependents? Some Free Zones offer only 1 visa or apply restrictions.
โ #4: Misunderstanding License Limitations
A service license doesnโt mean you can trade or import. Know the scope before you sign.
โ #5: Not Asking About Hidden Fees
Licensing, renewals, and service charges can stack up fast. Get a clear cost breakdown upfront.
๐ฏ Choose smart. Scale smarter.
