Different free zones cater to different industries. DIFC is best for finance; Dubai Internet City for tech; DMCC for commodities. Suits Finance helps you choose the optimal zone.

Each free zone has a defined list of permitted business activities. You must select activities that match your business and are permitted in your chosen zone.
