Mainland Business Setup
The UAE mainland companies are registered with the Department of Economic Development (DED) of each emirate and enable you to do business anywhere in the UAE and also globally. The arrangement will provide the greatest way in trading and offering services without needing location. The mainland businesses will be able to participate in government contracts, establish numerous branches and employ an infinite number of employees subject to office space. Since recent amendments to the UAE law, most of the current business activities enjoy foreign ownership of 100 per cent, and hence it is more appealing to investors to have a mainland setup.
In order to have a mainland firm, you need to choose a relevant business activity, register a trading name, obtain preliminary approvals, prepare the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and rent an office. Retail, hospitality, construction, consultancy and logistics industries are among the industries that opt to be registered in the mainland because of the convenience of accessibility to markets. The establishment cost is determined by the activity, the place, and the licensing requirement. Connect with business set up in Dubai, we can guide you to build your dream business!
The mainland route when adopted by an entrepreneur is best when an entrepreneur seeks to have greater market coverage, access to government projects, and growth over time in the economy of the United Arab Emirates. It offers credibility, freedom to operate and the benefit of operating out of the country with the freedom and the benefit of being located in the country; thus, it is one of the most preferred options among investors who look to offer them the local expansion opportunities as well as international expansion capabilities.
Advantages of Mainland Setup:
- Operate anywhere in the UAE and abroad
- Qualification for government contracts and tenders
- Unlimited visas (number depends on the size of the office)
- Possibility to open several branches
- No business restriction (according to the DED list)
- Enhanced trustworthiness to both local and international customers
