MAINLAND SETUP · TRADE ANYWHERE

UAE mainland setup, done properly

Mainland licensing means trading anywhere in the UAE and bidding for government work. It also means DED procedures, activity approvals, and paperwork that punishes improvisation.

THE APPROACH

FAQ

Straight answers

Do I still need a local sponsor?
For most commercial and professional activities — no; 100% foreign ownership applies. A shortlist of strategic activities still has conditions. We confirm your specific activity in the scoping call.
Mainland or freezone for my business?
Mainland if you need government contracts, mainland retail, or unrestricted UAE trading; freezone if cost efficiency and international work lead. It's a model question — and we'll answer it honestly, either way.
What ongoing obligations come with a mainland license?
Annual license renewal, corporate tax registration and filing, VAT if you cross thresholds, and proper books. All of it is exactly what our compliance retainers exist for.
