I: What reasons have prompted you to look at Al-Mazunah Free Zone as a potential area for investment?

J: I would like to promote my business in a place where the taxation system allows the development of entrepreneurship freely. In addition, my oil production can become more profitable if I take advantage of the available incentives.

I: Have you already started to build the necessary production facilities?

J: No, I have not because the infrastructure is under development, and the construction site is not yet available.

I: Do you rely on seasonality as a yardstick for the success of your business?

J: Yes, I do; my production is organized in such a way that most of the products are manufactured and delivered to the market in winter but not in summer. Therefore, the factor of seasonality plays an important role for me.

I: How did you find out about Al-Mazunah Free Zone and its prospects?

J: I learned about it due to advice and recommendations from colleagues.

I: Can investors learn about this area from the media?

J: I suppose no because Al-Mazunah Free Zone does not have an official social media account, and its individual website is not well organized and designed poorly.

I: What are the key factors that made you look at the zone as a potentially profitable area for investment?

J: I think these are a number of factors combined. Firstly, tax discounts are a good incentive. Secondly, the location of the Al-Mazunah Free Zone is convenient because trade in the region is dynamic, and many market participants concentrate their business in this geographic location. Finally, the rental price is relatively low, which is another driver to pay attention to the Zone.

I: What does the current investor of Al-Mazunah Free Zone look like?

J: I suppose this is an entrepreneur with clear goals and the desire to increase capital through timely investments.

I: Have you considered some competitors’ activities?

I: How long may it take you to sign all the necessary documents to start working in Al-Mazunah Free Zone?

J: I believe this may take about 28 days.

I: Are there any challenges that seem crucial to you right now?

I: How are you planning to establish interaction with customers and make communication accessible?

J: I am going to develop an online platform to share feedback and receive orders. Communication via the Internet is a convenient and accessible way to achieve customer loyalty.
