Mainland Company Formation in Dubai
At Estabia, we specialize in providing seamless mainland company formation services in Dubai. From flexible business locations to lucrative government contracts, setting up a mainland company offers unmatched advantages for ambitious entrepreneurs. Let’s explore why this business model might be perfect for you.
Benefits of Mainland Company Formation in Dubai
🚀 Wider Business Opportunities
Mainland companies can trade freely across Dubai and the UAE. With no geographical restrictions, you can offer products and services to government entities and consumers anywhere in the country.
🏢 Flexible Locations
Choose the ideal location to suit your business requirements. Whether it's a bustling city center or a quieter location, mainland businesses offer the freedom to open multiple branches and expand across the Emirates.
💼 Full Ownership
Dubai’s progressive business policies now allow 100% foreign ownership of mainland businesses in most sectors. Enjoy full control and operational flexibility without the need for a local partner in many industries.
💰 Access to Lucrative Government Contracts
As a mainland company, you gain access to multi-billion-dirham government projects across sectors like education, infrastructure, and healthcare.
Why Transition from a Free Zone to Mainland?
While free zones offer a great starting point for businesses, their scope is often limited to specific activities or regions. Transitioning to a mainland company opens doors to unrestricted trading, expansion opportunities, and access to government tenders. Partnering with Estabia ensures a smooth transition for businesses looking to expand beyond free zone boundaries.
Your Checklist for Mainland Business Setup in Dubai
1️⃣ Choose Your Business Activity
Select from over 2,000 approved activities listed by the Department of Economic Development (DED). Unlike free zones, mainland businesses can trade across all sectors, from trading to manufacturing and hospitality.
2️⃣ Select the Right Location
Enjoy the freedom to operate anywhere in the UAE. Whether you need proximity to major ports like Jebel Ali or prime urban locations, mainland companies have no location restrictions.
3️⃣ Define Your Business Structure
Determine the legal structure of your business. The most common structure for mainland companies is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which is ideal for trading and industrial activities. For professional services, you can opt for 100% foreign-owned entities.
4️⃣ Partner with a Local Sponsor or Service Agent
For certain industries, you’ll need a local sponsor who will hold 51% of the shares. At Estabia, we offer Corporate Nominee Partners, allowing you to retain complete operational control while ensuring compliance with UAE laws.
5️⃣ Name Your Company
Craft a trade name that aligns with your brand identity. Ensure compliance with UAE regulations by avoiding offensive language, religious references, and exact translations.
6️⃣ Apply for a Trade License
Submit your application to the DED, including legal documents such as your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and proof of ownership.
7️⃣ Secure Office Space
Choose between serviced offices, shell-and-core spaces, or pre-fitted office setups. Your office space must correspond to the number of employee visas you require.
8️⃣ Apply for Visas
Mainland companies allow unlimited visa applications. Additionally, you can sponsor dependents, domestic staff, and employees with minimal restrictions.
