Business Set Up in UAQ Free Trade Zone

The Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone (UAQ FTZ) was established in 1987. It was previously known as Ahmed Bin Rashid Port and Free Zone. However, the free zone didn’t take off until a few years ago, when it launched various packages geared towards attracting foreign investment into the emirate.

 

Renowned for its desert landscape, Umm Al Quwain is a leisure destination within the United Arab Emirates, located 45km from Dubai. Umm Al Quwain’s stable economy and low living and labour costs make it a strategic place for you to launch your next business. With affordable packages for every budget, it’s no wonder that it has become one of the most popular destinations for SMEs and freelancers.

 

The free zone has some of the most competitive warehouse leasing rates and staff accommodation sites. This makes the free zone an attractive place for manufacturing and global trade.
