Why open a branch office in Dubai?

Foreign companies can successfully set up their businesses by embracing Dubai’s tax-free and low-cost environment. Here are some of the benefits from opening up a branch office in Dubai.

1. Low-cost entry to the market

Considering the minimum capital requirement, tax flexibility and scalable infrastructure, branch offices can operate with lower costs more efficiently. Setups only consist of standard fee, application fee, and deposits. With Meydan Free Zone, you can calculate your setup costs with ease and scale your trade license amongst many factors, such as visa requirements among others.

2. Favourable business environment

The thriving emirate of Dubai boasts a 0% corporate tax on profits earned by branch offices of foreign companies, meaning all your profits are retained without any deductions, allowing the parent company to largely benefit from this. Along with the luxurious hotels and amenities available all around, your business will definitely be considered all the more attractive.

3. Cost-effective

Rather than setting up a new company as a whole, opening up branch offices could incur lower costs than expected. For example, the costs allocated to auditing will be reduced as the branch office can handle and track their transactions, which would also be legally liberating. In addition to this, opening up another branch is significantly less costly than going to lengths of launching a new company.

4. Strategic location

As discussed earlier, the branch office can be established in either mainland or a freezone, and per the requirements of the shareholders and company memorandum, the business can be set up just about anywhere. Dubai mainland is prone to offering lower rent costs, and with many other businesses operating around you, competition and lower operational costs will act as cost-efficiency drivers. On the other hand, free zone areas deliver a plethora of benefits that include its diversified transport links for better supply chain, technology-infused infrastructure and processes which will gradually lead to a lower set-up cost.

At Meydan Free Zone, the bustle of the city centre and close proximity to the airport, definitely allow easier access to transport systems and ease for employees to travel to offices for work. Not to mention, the speedy access to regional markets and different countries opens up a lot of room for growth potential.
