Selling product
While holding a free zone eCommerce license, companies are only allowed to sell product through online ecommerce site or through any social media platform in UAE such as Noon, Amazon, Shein, etc.
The product should be delivered by delivery companies as free zone companies are not allowed to do direct delivery in mainland areas.
Office/Warehouse space
In Free zone, the ecommerce license can be issued with flexi desk or virtual Ejari therefore there is no such requirement to have office or warehouse space to start the company.
