Work Process

Setting Up a Business in Dubai Mainland

01

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.

Choose Your Business Activity

02

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.

Find the Ideal Location

03

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

Determine Legal Structure

04

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.

Obtain a Local Sponsor/Agent

05

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

Name Your Company

06

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

Apply for a Trade License

07

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.

Secure Office Space

08

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.
