Introduction: About DMCC – The World’s Leading Free Zone

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is the largest and fastest-growing free zone in the UAE, strategically positioned in the heart of Dubai. It serves as a global hub for commodities trade, technology, and professional services.

DMCC has consistently earned international recognition, having been named Global Free Zone of the Year multiple times by the Financial Times' fDi Magazine. With over 23,000 registered companies and counting, DMCC fosters an ecosystem of innovation, trade, and entrepreneurship — supported by world-class infrastructure, flexible licensing options, and a robust legal and regulatory framework.

To maintain high levels of transparency and corporate governance, DMCC mandates that all registered companies appoint approved auditors to conduct annual audits and submit compliant financial statements. Partnering with a DMCC-approved auditor is essential for business compliance and license renewal.

What is Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC)?

DMCC was established to facilitate and enhance global trade across various industries, including precious metals, energy products, diamonds, technology, and services. It has earned international accolades, such as "Global Free Zone of the Year" multiple times, for fostering innovation, enterprise, and economic growth in Dubai.

Businesses operating in DMCC enjoy benefits such as 100% foreign ownership, zero personal and corporate tax for 50 years, robust legal frameworks, and access to global markets.
