Mainland Business in the UAE
The flexibility to operate across all Emirates and internationally is a key incentive for establishing a mainland company. Previously, mainland licenses required a local sponsor; however, over 1000 commercial licenses no longer have this requirement, streamlining the process.
Mainland companies enjoy benefits such as no limitations on visa issuance and simplified bank account opening compared to Freezone and offshore entities. Moreover, recent legislative changes have enabled 100% ownership for numerous mainland business activities, eliminating the necessity for a local national to hold majority ownership.
Setting up a mainland company in the UAE is intricate and varies based on business nature. Our expert consultants are available to address your queries and guide you through the formation process.
