Every company in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) is licensed by DMCC, the free zone authority that runs the JLT community. So "company formation in JLT" and "DMCC company setup" are the same thing: a 100% foreign-owned free zone company with an address in one of Dubai's best-connected business districts. Pro24's team works from Platinum Towers in JLT, so we set up JLT companies on our own doorstep every week.

Flexi desk and offices in JLT
A DMCC licence needs a workspace in the free zone. Most new JLT companies start on a flexi desk, which supports up to 3 residence visas, then move into a serviced or private office in a JLT tower as the team grows, with the visa quota rising with floor area. See DMCC flexi desk and private office options.
