One of the key benefits of obtaining a Dubai Mainland License is the ability to operate without geographic restrictions. Mainland companies in the UAE are permitted to conduct business across the entire country, including in free zones, as well as internationally.
A DED Mainland License enables businesses to establish physical offices anywhere in the UAE, enhancing their market presence. This flexibility also allows for easy expansion by opening branches in different regions of the UAE.
Companies with Mainland Licenses have the advantage of bidding for government contracts. The UAE government regularly seeks specialized contractors for large-scale projects, providing businesses with the opportunity to pursue high-value, high-reward contracts.
Under the Dubai Mainland License, there are no limitations on currency transactions. Companies can freely repatriate funds from both onshore and offshore accounts within the UAE.
Mainland companies in the UAE benefit from having no fixed limits on visa quotas. While acquiring additional office space may be required as the business grows, scaling up the workforce is relatively straightforward.
Mainland companies in Dubai enjoy tax exemptions similar to those granted to free zone entities. Additionally, there is no minimum capital requirement for establishing a business with a Dubai Mainland License, making it a financially attractive option for investors.
Choose the business activity you intend to conduct in Dubai or any of the other Emirates. Assess the feasibility of your chosen activity to ensure it can be carried out in the region.
Select the appropriate legal structure for your company, such as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Sole Establishment, or Branch Office. Each structure has distinct ownership and liability rules, and all businesses must comply with the legal forms outlined by the Dubai Economic Department (DED).
Pick a trade name that adheres to DED regulations. You can submit a reservation request through the DED website or a service center.
While many business activities now allow full foreign ownership, certain legal structures or business activities may still require a UAE national to act as a local service agent. Choosing the right sponsor is crucial to avoid potential complications in regulating your business.
Once your initial documentation is ready, apply for Initial Approval with the DED. This approval allows you to proceed with starting your business and applying for additional certifications as required.
Some businesses may need approvals from various government bodies, such as the Dubai Municipality or ministries. Securing these approvals is essential for proceeding with the licensing process.
In many cases, businesses are required to lease office space in Dubai. Affordable options like Flexi Desks are available, but certain types of businesses may need to lease a full office to meet regulatory requirements.
Ejari is an initiative regulated by RERA to formalize rental agreements. Your business must present an Ejari certificate to the DED as part of the license application process.
