Mainland companies can trade freely anywhere in the UAE, bid for government contracts, and have unlimited visa allocations. They require a physical office and are now 100% foreign-owned.
Free Zone companies enjoy tax benefits (0% CT on qualifying income), simplified setup, and lower costs. They're ideal for international trade, consultancy, and businesses that don't need to sell directly to UAE consumers.
Timeline varies by jurisdiction:
- Free Zone: 3-5 working days for license issuance
- Mainland: 5-10 working days depending on activity
- Offshore: 5-7 working days
Visa processing typically adds 2-3 weeks. Bank account opening varies by bank but usually takes 2-4 weeks.
Yes! The UAE now allows 100% foreign ownership for most business activities in both mainland and free zones. The previous requirement for a local sponsor or 51% UAE partner has been removed for most commercial activities.
Some strategic activities may still require local partnership — our team will advise during your consultation if this applies to your business.
Basic requirements for most business setups:
- Valid passport copy (6+ months validity)
- Passport-size photographs
- Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement)
- Business plan or activity description
Some activities may require additional documents like educational certificates or professional qualifications. We'll provide a complete checklist after your consultation.
For the initial license setup, you do not need to be physically present — we can handle everything remotely with proper documentation and Power of Attorney.
However, for visa stamping and Emirates ID, physical presence is required. Bank account opening typically requires at least one in-person meeting, though some banks now offer video verification options.
