Quick answer: UAE free zone business activities
Use this hub to search UAE free zone activity terms, aliases and related licence names before shortlisting a free zone. This hub is an activity-search starting point, not authority approval: exact permitted wording, licence category, external approval, visa allocation, office requirement, banking suitability and current package pricing must be confirmed before payment.
Quick verdict: Use the hub to find likely activity wording first, then confirm the exact authority wording, licence category, free-zone eligibility, external approval risk, visa impact, office requirement, banking suitability and current quote before paying setup fees.
Activity match confidence
Activity match confidence: likely match only until the selected free zone confirms the exact authority wording and whether the activity is commercial, professional, industrial, media, freelance or regulated.
Source and confidence
Source and confidence: UAE Freezone Compare maps common search terms, aliases and reviewed activity pages against suitable free-zone routes. Activity matches are likely matches only until the chosen authority or current partner quote confirms the exact wording, package, approvals and exclusions.

How many business activities can UAE free zones support?
UAE Freezone Compare tracks 2,500+ business activity terms and related license names across UAE free zone licensing categories.
Can one free zone license include multiple activities?
Often yes, but activity grouping, authority approval, shareholder structure, and external approvals can affect eligibility and cost.
Should I choose the cheapest free zone for my activity?
Not always. Check banking difficulty, renewal cost, visa options, office requirement, activity wording, and hidden fees before paying.
Can a free zone company trade in the UAE mainland?
Direct mainland trading may require a mainland distributor, branch, permit, or different setup depending on the business model.
