Due to attractive business opportunities in different emirates of UAE, several industries are booming here. There is no doubt about the leading role of Dubai for providing lucrative advantages and opportunities to investors and entrepreneurs in all types of sectors. But other emirates, even the small ones, are trying to compete against Dubai and Abu Dhabi in attracting foreign investors. These small emirates are especially trying to give competition in at least few selected industries. The main advantage these small emirates provide is that they are far less expensive than Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Therefore, they are ideal for SMEs.
An important industry where Dubai is facing challenge is the media industry. DMC (Dubai Media City) in Dubai is challenged by other media-related free zones in several other emirates. There is media-supporting SHAMS Free Zone in Sharjah and Ajman Media City Free Zone for progress of media in their respective emirates. Another important free zone that provides special status to companies related to media industry is the Ras Al Khaimah Media Free Zone (RMFZ).
RMFZ was established in 2006. An important reason that it rivals DMC and other media-related free zones in UAE is its competitive fees and world-class facilities provided to the companies of related industries. There is every reason that RMFZ can grow even in the presence of several other high-class free zones in UAE. Following are few important factors that make RMFZ an attractive place for media industry.
- 100% exemption from corporate and personal income tax
- 100% repatriation of profits and capitals without any currency restrictions
- Quick and simple registration process with very few conditions and requirements
- Availability of several types of licenses that encompass several business entities
- Proximity of international airport and seaport
Following are important types of licenses available in RMFZ.
- Publishing license (for magazines, e-books, educational & consumer books, directories & guides etc.)
