Mainland Company Formation
The department of economic development (ded) is responsible for mainland company formation in dubai. All companies licensed to operate under this authority can conduct their business operations locally and in the international market. To form a company or set up a business in the mainland is a long and tedious process involving a lot of paperwork and approvals. Almost all business owners take aid from management and financial consultancies for these.

By assisting in the mainland company registration, trade licensing, pro services, and visa processing, through our expertise and contacts at various government organizations, we make possible what would have seemed impossible to you otherwise. It is mandatory to have a local partner to set up a mainland business in dubai and we become one to you in every sense- dedicated, dependable, and trustworthy.
Advantages of Setting Up a Mainland Company in Dubai
Establishing a mainland company in Dubai offers numerous benefits that make it a popular choice for entrepreneurs and investors.
Expanded Business
Opportunities
Mainland companies can operate across Dubai and the entire UAE, granting access to a vast market without geographical restrictions. This flexibility enables businesses to maximize their reach and revenue potential.
100% Ownership
for Foreign Investors
Thanks to recent legislative reforms, foreign investors can now enjoy 100% ownership of mainland companies in most sectors. This eliminates the need for a local sponsor, giving international entrepreneurs full control over their businesses.
Flexible Business
Locations
Mainland companies are not limited to specific zones. Entrepreneurs can choose from a variety of locations to establish their business, ensuring they find the perfect spot to meet their operational needs and customer demands.
Zero Trade
Restrictions
Dubai mainland companies can trade freely within the UAE and beyond. They can also offer services directly to the government and sell to consumers across the Emirates, ensuring unrestricted business growth opportunities.
Diverse Business
Activities
Mainland companies can engage in a wide range of activities. If you wish to diversify your offerings, you can easily re-register additional business activities with the Department of Economic Development (DED) and start operating without delay.
Access to
Government Contracts
Dubai mainland businesses are well-positioned to bid for lucrative government contracts. The UAE government invests heavily in infrastructure, education, and social facilities, offering businesses opportunities to secure high-value projects.

Freezone Company Formation
A major challenge in setting up a business in the uae is the requirement to have a uae national as a partner with more than half of the shares being owned by them. But free zones have turned out to be a solution to this problem, as they offer complete tax-free ownership to operate any international business- manufacturing, import, or export of goods and services. These free zones located in every emirate at strategic locations near airports, seaports, and national borders have turned out to be the hubs for commerce and trade. The opportunity for entrepreneurship in these free zones has contributed tremendously to the growth of the economy.

Free Zones in the UAE
UAE is home to nearly 50 free zones located across the length and breadth of the country. They have attracted non-residents to set up businesses and form companies escalating the annual GDP by many folds. Albeit the difference in setup cost and paperwork involved, the basic requirements to set up a business in these free zones remain the same.

offshore Company Formation
The government of the UAE introduced the concept of offshore companies in 2003. Since then, they have contributed immensely to the growth of the economy. Owned by a non-resident individual or corporate, these companies do not need to have an office in the UAE, yet can operate seamlessly. They can avail tax exemptions apart from other financial assistance too.
With the flexible regulations involved in setting up an offshore company in UAE, many foreign investors are enthusiastic about setting up companies in Dubai, RAK, JAFZA and Ajman, the most prominent offshore options in UAE.
