Mainland Business Setup

What is Dubai Mainland?

Dubai mainland is the prime geographical area specified by the department of economic development (DED) in Dubai UAE. The companies on the mainland are also known as onshore companies. Which are allowed to perform business activities inside the local area and outside of the UAE without any restriction.

Types of Business Licence for Dubai Mainland Companies:
When it comes to mainland company setup, there are two types of company licenses where UAE national’s presence is a must in any of the two forms:

1- Commercial Business License:
In the commercial license, 51% shares are in hands of UAE nationals and 49% will be owned by the ex-pat partner.

2- Professional Business License:
In the professional license, 100% shares are held by the ex-pat partner only, and the UAE national acts as a local service agent.

What is the Visa Facilities for Mainland Companies?

If we talk about the visa facility, E-quota (electronic quota) is issued to every mainland company in Dubai UAE. It’s completely flexible because mainland company is not subject to have any visa limitations. If the company’s size increases and it requires more staff, then the E-quota can be increased accordingly by the ministry of labour.

Generally, it completely depends upon the office space. The more office space you have, the more visas you can get.

Note: This condition doesn’t apply to messenger visa, driver visa, sales staff, or PRO visas.

Approvals from the Governmental Authorities:

The license for Dubai DED company formation requires government authorities approvals for specific business activities as below:

  • For the education-related license, it’s required to have the approval from KHDA i.e. Knowledge and Human Development Authority
  • For medical related license, it’s required to have approval from DHA  i.e. Dubai Health Authority
  • For a food-related license, it’s required to have approval from the Food department of a municipality

This is not the end, there are many other governmental bodies such as civil defense, real estate regulation authority, etc where one needs to have a license to perform certain business activities.

So, there is no need to have the standard government approvals per license from DED, Dubai municipality, Ministry of interiors or Immigration, etc.

How can you start mainland company in Dubai?

The first and foremost step to kick-start the process of mainland company setup is to have a verified office address acquired from the Dubai municipality. Along with this, there are many other factors such as commercial or professional business license, local partner or local service agent, fulfilling minimum office space requirement, visa processes, etc.

Steps involved in company formation in Dubai mainland:

  1. Business Activity Selection and Name Approval
  2. Selection of Local Partner or Service Agent
  3. Apply for Initial Approval for Mainland Company Setup
  4. Preparation of Court Notarization and MOA
  5. Get Office Space and Tenancy Contact
  6. Final Submission for Mainland Company Formation in UAE

We at Business Link UAE assist our valued client at the above-mentioned phases of mainland business setup in Dubai. Our team of expert business consultants is ready to listen to your essentials regarding your mainland business setup and bring it into existence with complete support in each and every legal procedure required for the same.

Difference Between Local Partner and Expat Partner

A local partner or local service agent is required to sign up for all the applications connected to governmental bodies. They don’t interfere in the daily business operations unless agreed. While on the other side, the ex-pat partner is responsible to handle the day to day business activities.

Office Space Requirement for Mainland Company Setup

It’s required to have 200 sq ft on lease on an annual basis for the mainland company formation in Dubai UAE. After this, the Dubai economic development department issues the license. Once the ejari certificate is issued by the land department UAE, it can be presented in DED for the license insurance.

What are the key advantages of mainland companies in Dubai?

Foremost advantages of mainland business setup in Dubai:

1- Unrestricted business activities with other mainland companies:

This is one of the most important benefits you can get in the mainland company setup in any emirate of UAE. Freezone companies are completely bound to trade within that Freezone or of the other emirates of the UAE.

In case, Freezone companies want to trade with the mainland companies, they are required to have certain licenses. But the mainland companies are totally free to trade in any area of UAE or outside.

2- Extensive business opportunity:

Mainland companies get a huge scope for business growth as compared to Freezone companies. Freezone companies are restricted to work within a certain area or field while the mainland is allowed to work with any area. So, they can get better opportunities for growth.

3- Work with governmental bodies:

When it comes to working as a contractor for government projects, only the mainland companies are benefitted. Freezone companies can only work with the private sectors. So, if someone is planning to get the projects from the UAE government, it’s better to go with the business setup in Dubai mainland only.

4- Open Presence in the UAE Market:

The best advantage that mainland companies get is that they can be established in any area of Dubai UAE. Apart from that, they can be involved in trading activities within or outside of the UAE without any restriction.

5- Financially viable:

Mainland business is one of the most viable options to set up a business in Dubai UAE. The reason behind it is that there is no requirement of minimum capital for Dubai’s mainland business setup. So, it’s like a breathtaking incentive to mainland businesses.
