Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) Freezone Accounting & CFO Service

Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) anchors one of the world’s most connected logistics corridors.Situated beside Jebel Ali Port and close to Al Maktoum International Airport, the zone links sea, air and road in a single ecosystem. Consequently, traders, manufacturers and e-commerce brands move goods faster, hold less buffer stock, and scale across the GCC with confidence. Moreover, JAFZA offers flexible facilities plots, warehouses and offices plus streamlined formation, visa processing and a deep vendor network. Because predictability matters, infrastructure, utilities and customs interfaces operate on schedules that match global supply chains.
