Mainland Business Setup

The Department of Economic Development (DED) regulates mainland companies. These companies facilitate global trade and enhance your presence. They offer flexibility for collaboration with the governments of the UAE and the GCC nations. Companies established in the Dubai mainland can trade both within the Emirates and throughout the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Dubai mainland permits 100% foreign ownership, though certain business activities require local sponsorship. Furthermore, you need physical office space to carry out your business operations in the Dubai mainland.

Freezone Business Setup

There are over 20 free zones in Dubai, each regulated by its respective free zone authority. When you register a company in a Dubai free zone, you can utilize 100% foreign ownership and exemptions from corporate and personal taxes.

By establishing a free zone company in Dubai, you can operate not only within other free zones in the city but also in international markets. However, you should be aware that free zone companies can engage in certain business activities on the Dubai mainland if you have a local sponsor and the necessary licenses.
