Mainland Company Formation

Operate across the entire UAE market, work with government entities, and establish a significant local presence.

What is a Mainland Company?

A UAE Mainland company is an entity registered under the Department of Economic Development (DED) of a specific emirate. This structure is the premier choice for businesses aiming for maximum market reach and credibility within the UAE.

It allows you to trade directly with the local market, establish offices anywhere in the emirate, and participate in government projects. Recent reforms have also extended 100% foreign ownership to a vast majority of business activities, making it more attractive than ever for international entrepreneurs.
