Before starting, it's important to note that to be a member of a company in Dubai, you must be at least 21 years old. In addition, it is essential to choose the legal structure that best suits the needs of your company to ensure success and legal compliance in the country.
If your goal is to trade within the United Arab Emirates or you prefer not to operate in a Free Trade Zone, establish a company Mainland is the ideal option. These companies are regulated by the Department of Economic Development (DED) and have no restrictions on business activities in the continental area.
Unlike companies in Freezones, Mainland companies can conduct business operations both inside and outside the UAE. This allows for greater flexibility in business expansion. In addition, the structure of a Mainland company makes it easy to open multiple branches, ensuring a consolidated presence in all the Emirates.
One of the key advantages of Mainland companies over those of Freezones is the ability to access government contracts. Companies established in the continent have the opportunity to participate in government tenders and contracts, which can represent a significant flow of revenue and growth.
Although most Mainland companies allow 100% foreign ownership, in certain strategic sectors, such as oil and gas, it may be necessary to have a local Emirati partner. However, in most cases, foreign investors have the same freedom as in the Freezones to fully control their company.
As in the Freezones, Mainland companies offer the possibility to choose between different areas of Dubai to establish the company, providing flexibility to select the location that best suits the needs of the business.
