justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai CommerCity is the first free trade zone in the MEASA region of Dubai and has been dedicated to the growing needs of the e-commerce market. The sprawling 2.1 million square foot zone is dedicated to e-commerce businesses running in North Africa, South Asia, and the various subregions in the Middle East. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two state-owned enterprises, namely the Dubai Airport and the real estate company Wasl, take care of the facility itself. It offers a host of facilities and benefits that make it among the most attractive free zones for foreign direct investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The zone consists of state-of-the-art offices, large warehouses, and other facilities that make it ideal for digital businesses of all kinds. Furthermore, it offers various facilities that help businesses register to run in the UAE. This makes it extremely beneficial for single-owner businesses that often need a lot more external support to get their establishments up and running.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Setups\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company Setups\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key facilities that the DCC offers is that it helps businesses get registered to run in the UAE.
