Mainland vs. Free Zone

 Choosing the Right Foundation for Your UAE Business

Deciding between a Mainland license and a Free Zone is the most critical step, impacting everything from your operational scope to ownership and taxation. We provide clear, unbiased guidance to match your global strategy to the ideal local structure.

Mainland Company Setup: Unrestricted Growth

The Mainland option is ideal for businesses requiring access to the wider UAE economy, government projects, and the freedom to operate anywhere locally.

  • Local Trade:
    Full access to local UAE market.

  • Government Contracts:
    Eligible for public and private tenders. 

  • Business Scope:
    Unlimited options for business activities and licensing.

  • Location:
    Ability to open multiple branches across the Emirates.

 

Free Zone Company Setup: Tax Efficiency & Control

Free Zones remain highly advantageous for international businesses, offering competitive tax regimes and simplified international trade.

  • Foreign Ownership:
    Full control over your company without a local UAE partner.

  • Full Repatriation:
    Complete repatriation of capital and profits (no mandatory local investment).

  • Simplified Compliance:
    Streamlined international operations, customs procedures, and fast licensing.
