Where Dubai's future works and lives

Dubai South Business Hub Free Zone (DSBH FZ) is more than a place to start a company, it is part of a thriving city built for the future.

- 

Located within the Dubai South master community, the Free Zone sits in one of the emirate's most ambitious developments — a 145-square-kilometre integrated city that brings together aviation, logistics, business, residential living, and leisure. Designed to attract entrepreneurs, investors, and global talent, Dubai South combines lifestyle convenience with world-class connectivity, creating an environment where business and community coexist seamlessly.

More than 25,000 entrepreneurs and businesses currently operate through DSBH FZ, many of whom also live in Dubai South or nearby areas such as Dubai Investment Park, Jumeirah Golf Estates, and Green Community. Living close to their place of business allows founders to save time, reduce costs, and enjoy a balanced lifestyle. For expatriates and international investors, Dubai South offers a resilient investment location with 100% foreign ownership, no income tax and direct connectivity to major global markets.

One of the Free Zone's strongest attractions is its affordable business setup model. Entrepreneurs can obtain a zero-visa trade licence starting from AED 12,500, giving them a cost-efficient entry point into Dubai's business ecosystem. As their companies grow, clients can upgrade visa eligibility or add new activities by paying only for what they need. This flexibility ensures that startups and SMEs scale sustainably without unnecessary upfront expense.
