Business Hub setting
Company formation within Dubai South’s wider commercial development.
Dubai South Free Zone
Company Formation
Position your enterprise in the heart of Dubai’s global aerotropolis. Centered around Al Maktoum International Airport and connected to Jebel Ali Port, Dubai South delivers 100% foreign ownership, world-class logistics infrastructure, and fast digital company formation.
Dubai South Business Hub
A business base within Dubai’s southern growth corridor
Dubai South combines a business district with an aviation and logistics setting around Al Maktoum International Airport. Its Business Hub gives entrepreneurs a company formation route within that wider development.
The right setup depends on whether you sell goods, provide services or manage an online business. Select the approved activity first, then plan the company structure, workspace and visa requirements; a license alone does not grant every logistics or aviation permission.
Still deciding how to structure the application? Review the company setup planning guide, then confirm the requirements of your chosen authority.
Plan the operating footprint
A digital service business and a company handling physical goods have different workspace and approval needs. Confirm the facilities and documents that apply to your activity.
