Why MainLand Company Formation In Dubai?

Establishing a business in Dubai’s mainland district is regulated by Federal Law, with Mainland Companies being the most advanced corporate entities. It is a good choice to set up a business in Dubai’s mainland because of two main reasons.

  1. Strategic Location: Firstly, the UAE’s location is strategic in the Middle East, making it a valuable location for business investors to expand their operations and access other GCC nations.
  2. Economic policies: Secondly, the UAE government provides various incentives to encourage company investors, such as 100% foreign ownership and no personal tax, to start business operations in various industries.
  3. Avoid double tax: In the UAE, if you own a company and do import-export transactions, you can sign an agreement to avoid paying taxes twice. This means you only have to pay taxes once, and not on both sides.
  4. Office Setup: It is easy to find office space in Dubai’s mainland, which has become an increasingly popular location for business establishments.

Process For MainLand Business Setup in Dubai

Mainland business setup in Dubai refers to setting up a business within the commercial hub of Dubai, which is governed by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED). The Criteria of mainland company formation in Dubai involves Certain steps

Choose a Business Activity The first step in mainland business setup in Dubai is to choose the business activity that you want to engage in. This will determine the type of license you need to apply for, such as a commercial license, industrial license, or professional license.

Find a Local Sponsor

In Dubai, all mainland companies require a local sponsor, who will hold a 51% ownership in the
company. The sponsor can be an individual or a company. The local sponsor will not have any
involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company and will only be a partner on paper.

Choose a Business Name

Choose a unique and appropriate name for your company, which must be approved by the Dubai
Department of Economic Development (DED).The DED has strict guidelines for business names, and
any name that is deemed inappropriate or offensive will be rejected.

Apply for a Mainland Trade License

The next step is to apply for a Mainland Trade License of your company with the DED. This involves submitting the required documents, including the Memorandum of Association (MOA), to the DED for
registration. The MOA outlines the company’s activities, ownership structure, and other details.
