Mainland Company Formation

Mainland companies are legal entities incorporated in Dubai or any other emirate of the U.A.E., outside of the free zones. They are governed by the UAE Commercial Companies Law and regulated by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Mainland companies can operate within and outside Dubai and engage in a wide range of business activities. This type of setup is ideal for businesses that want to tap into the local market, trade across the UAE, and expand overseas.

Setting up a mainland company in Dubai requires a verified office premise registered with the Dubai Land Department. Office space requirements vary based on the type of license, and investors must provide a valid tenancy contract when applying for the license.
