Work Process

Setting Up a Business in Dubai Mainland

Mainland Company Setup

Mainland Company Setup
  • 1. Choose Your Business Activity

    Decide your industry (e.g., trading, agriculture, hospitality) based on DED’s 2000+ permitted activities. Mainland businesses are free to trade in any listed activity.

  • 2. Find the Ideal Location

    Select a location that suits your budget and business needs. Mainland businesses have no location restrictions, allowing easy branch office setup and flexibility in choosing high-traffic areas.

  • 3. Determine Legal Structure

    The most common structure is an LLC, which requires a local sponsor. Professional service companies, however, can be 100% foreign-owned without a sponsor.

  • 4. Obtain a Local Sponsor/Agent

    For an LLC, a local sponsor (UAE national/company) owning 51% of the business is needed. For professional services, a local service agent is required without ownership.

  • 5. Name Your Company

    Choose a trade name that aligns with UAE guidelines—avoid offensive language, religious references, and abbreviations. Use full personal names only.

  • 6. Apply for a Trade License

    Submit required documents to the DED, such as a license application, sponsor arrangements, and ownership details.

  • 7. Secure Office Space

    Choose between serviced offices (fully equipped) or shell and core spaces (requiring full fit-out). Your choice will depend on your business needs and budget.

  • 8. Apply for Visas

    The number of visas you can apply for depends on your office space. Mainland companies can sponsor dependents and apply for investment visas with three-year validity.
