Mainland company formation in Dubai is the most powerful way to build a business with unlimited opportunities across the UAE. With new regulations allowing 100% foreign ownership, entrepreneurs can now operate freely without a local sponsor — making Dubai Mainland the top choice for international investors, startups, and SMEs.
If you are planning to launch a business with full operational freedom, no limitations on office location, and the ability to trade anywhere in the UAE and internationally, Dubai Mainland is the ideal option.
A Dubai Mainland company is a legal entity licensed by Dubai’s Department of Economy & Tourism (DED), allowing businesses to operate within the UAE and globally without restrictions.
Unlike free zones, a mainland company can:
Work with UAE government clients
Trade anywhere inside the UAE
Open offices anywhere in Dubai
Hire unlimited staff
Expand easily across Emirates
This flexibility makes mainland licenses the most preferred for long-term business growth.
UAE’s new laws allow complete foreign ownership for most business activities.
No geographic boundaries — you can serve mainland, free zone, government, and international markets.
Perfect for retail, restaurants, commercial trade, contracting, and service companies.
Hire as many employees as you need based on office space.
Add or combine different activities under one license.
Only mainland companies can bid for government & semi-government projects.
Ideal for companies planning rapid expansion.
