Using UAE Toll Free Numbers to Grow Your Business
UAE toll free numbers are an absolute must for any business that wishes to grow from a local level to an international one. In today’s economy, the broader and more diverse the customer base, the better it may be for your growth and sales.
Having UAE 800 numbers allows you to have virtual space in any country or region of the globe. When you wish to expand your market into UAE, but do not want to dedicate the funds to creating actual office space, creating a virtual office is an appropriate alternative. Callers can call your toll free number for free without worrying about international calling charges. The numbers are familiar to your potential clients so they hesitate less before using them. This can be very advantageous for a business trying to get a foothold in a foreign nation.
Doing Business in the UAE
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), regulations regarding the establishment of business and how business is conducted are shared at both the federal level and the emirate level. There are two ways to do business in the UAE: either through joint partnerships or through a Free Zone.
Joint partnerships are described as businesses where at least 51 percent of the business is owned by a UAE national. In order to establish a business that is able to sell its products and services freely throughout all of the UAE, the business must be a joint partnership as described here. Forming this type of partnership is the simplest way to establish a business in the United Arab Emirates. Your business will need a license, and licensing procedures will vary from Emirate to Emirate. In order to get specific information related to conducting business in a particular Emirate, it is best to contact the individual Chamber of Commerce or that Emirate.
The Chambers of Commerce include:
- Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Ajman Chamber of Commerce
- Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Fujairah Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Umm al-Qaiwain
UAE Free Zones
Another way to conduct business in the UAE is by establishing a business entity in one of the numerous UAE Free Trade Zones (FTZs). This may be a good option for some foreign investors and businesses. There are currently more than 20,000 companies operating in 21 Free Zones around the UAE. Each Free Zone is governed by an independent Free Zone Authority (FZA) and the FZA is responsible for issuing any necessary Free Trade Zone licenses and helping businesses to establish their business in the Free Zone. Foreign investors can either newly register their company in the form of a Free Zone Establishment (FZE), which is a limited liability company that is governed by rules and regulations of the Free Zone where it is formed, or they can establish a branch/ office of their existing company that is based elsewhere in the UAE or abroad.
Benefits of UAE Free Zones
The primary advantages to conducting business in free zones are:
- The business owner maintains 100 percent foreign ownership of their business
- 100 percent export and import exemptions
- There are no corporate taxes for 15 years and this is renewable for another 15 years
- No personal income taxes
- There is 100 percent repatriation of capital and profits
- The documentation is mostly in English and it is less complicated than the partnership paperwork
- There is labor recruitment assistance available and additional support services, such as housing and sponsorship
The guidelines for establishing a business in a Free Zone are typically pretty simple and straightforward. You can complete these steps in a short amount of time, particularly if your company has no environmental issues involved. Individual Free Zones may have different requirements, but generally, the steps include: completing a questionnaire from the Free Zone Authority that they will use to assess your company, planning documents, license applications, request for electricity, a provisional approval, completing lease agreements, and meeting with the Free Zone Authority to ensure all details are properly completed and finalized.
Some of the industries with the most available opportunities include:
