Certain paperwork is required when setting up a company in Abu Dhabi free zone. A completed application form, a business plan, and a company profile are all required. A copy of the shareholder’s passport, as well as a shareholder’s decision to create the company, are also necessary. In addition, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, a power of attorney, and the leasing agreement for the free zone office space must be given. Finally, financial statements, bank reference letters, and a no-objection certificate round up the paperwork required for business formation.
