Dubai Mainland

A Mainland company is a company registered with the UAE Department of Economic Development (DED). This means that if you choose to conduct business in the UAE Mainland, you will need to register a business entity with the DED, which will then issue a business licence for doing business in the UAE.

Mainland companies can take various legal forms that have specific requirements for registration procedures, operations and corporate structure.

Foreign citizens can own 100% share in a local company unless such a local company conducts activity of “strategic importance” that is subject to additional regulation.
