UMM AL QUWAIN FREE ZONE AUTHORITY (UAQFTZ)
Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone always follows five key strategies and principles in order to provide the best services to valued clients:
Humanised customer service
One of our paramount strategies is to interact with our clients and provide tailored advice as per their needs. In our digital age, we truly believe that the personal touch matters.
Assured stability
Despite economic upheaval caused by the pandemic, our existing value propositions remain the same. Our customer-centric attitude is rooted in an awarness of what clients need right now and that helps us strengthen our relationships through empathy rather than simply garnering profit during tough times.
Innovative incentives
We are always finding new ways to solve new problems. Now, our clients can benefit from the recently introduced Business LYTE packages with an exclusive Government Subsidy up to 50 per cent. The newly introduced packages will allow our clients to explore businesses in different sectors such as e-commerce, trading, consulting and even freelancing.
Complete transparency
All our offerings are simple and clear in their communication. They are straightforward enough to be understood by our clients and hold no hidden surprises.
Ultimate responsibility
Our corporate mission is to provide options to our valued clients for sustainable investments rather than simple investment with continuous support and by reinventing value propositions for evolving client needs. This allows our clients to manage their companies for long-term success.
