A new range of incentives have been introduced by Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) to help firms resume their activities with confidence in the post-COVID-19 environment.
The business hub now provides on-demand warehouses on short-term lease with no VAT or customs duties.
Companies can take on lease warehouses from 300 sqm to 15,000 sqm in size with free water and electricity as a bonus.
Jafza also offers easier rental terms, fast-track approvals, in-house logistics and cost effective transport services.
Both new and existing clients can take advantage of these measures.
The latest incentives come on the back of the 70 per cent reduction in registration, licensing and administrative fees announced in March.
