DLS Dubai Free Zone company renewal and audits

Colleagues, IFZA will never give direct invoices for services (new license, renewal, new visa, audit, and so on). This is why there are a huge number of business partners. It's as old as the world. There is no point in trying to change something, the VM will not be given.
How it works: The Free Zone provides a piece of paper (license) and a place to work (usually only on a piece of paper), and professional partners take over ALL︀ the rest of the work and communication with the clents. Free Zones are the best︁ slackers))
Example: I started the company through a professional partner X. But in a year︂ I want to work with another partner Y. Partner Y, who is interested in a︃ new client, tells me: Dude, ask partner X for a NOC and we will work︄ together. According to the law, this is possible. But your first partner X will never︅ "give up" on you and will continue to receive a commission for you. Accordingly, new︆ partners will simply be forced to give a higher price in order to receive at︇ least some commission from omimo. And you, in turn, will be unhappy. And you will︈ have no choice but to stay with partner X.

Yes, IFZA sent me an invoice (with my company name details) and I paid them.
So you should do the same. Unless the professional partner gives you the same price as IFZA… But I doubt that. They put extra charges on it.
Wait till the professionals want to charge you for bookkeeping!

When they do that, isn't it because they provide an extra service that entitles them to charge more for their services? In your opinion, wouldn't it be worth it to have a professional help you with such documents if you're not so adept at it?
You’re welcome. That’s why this is offshorecorptalk, so we can talk and discuss!
I don’t know how much of a fee your professional partner asked. This is ofcourse different as they make those prices up.
In my case they asked 2500 AED. That’s around 680 USD. Well, that’s easy money.
I don’t have anything against solid professional partners in general. However the most are taking extreme advantage of us.
If a professional partner asks you︀ something in the future, always ask on the internet before you reply with a “yes︁ I will pay”.

I am also in this boat after being abandoned by Fred at DLS.
My company and ID expire in August.
So to confirm the process is:
1. Register for Corporate Tax (did that already) & VAT (haven't done that yet)
2. Contact IFZA asking to renew trade license, pay invoice directly
3. Apply to renew UAE ID, seems like it requires another physical visit in Dubai for biometrics, and provide documents
4. Wait for physical ID card to be issued
5. Sometime early 2025 do an audit for 2024 financial year?
Thank you

The IFZA agreement stipulates: We accept payments︀ for final recipients (customers) only from business partners. So, find the right one. Just before︁ the final selection, check its adequacy and qualifications 100 times. Then it will be almost︂ impossible to abandon it, as a result, problems will snowball. You can check this by︃ asking for an example of an agreement with a partner (if given).
If you are︄ interested, I can give you the contact of my business partner and good friend Salman.︅ The man has been in this business for more than 10 years, the prices are︆ low.

Yeah IFZA is not really a model of quality and efficiency in their way of dealing with things and practices. But they tend to be decently reactive per email [email protected]
maybe time to start a thread for this?
There has been a lot of people getting these audit requests (with obscure requirements which have never been communicated along the way).
