Overview
An experienced entrepreneur was expanding his international business operations and turned to CAS Services for establishing a Freezone company in the UAE. The main objective of the client was to take advantage of the benefits the UAE Freezones had to offer: 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and an ideal strategic location for global trade.
