Setting up a Mainland company in the UAE means registering your business through the Department of Economic Development (DED), giving you the freedom to operate both locally and internationally. Thanks to recent updates in UAE regulations, foreign entrepreneurs can now own 100% of their business in most sectors no need for a local sponsor.
The UAE Mainland is not only known for its strategic location and global connectivity, but it also provides a flexible business environment. You have the liberty to trade across the Emirates, hire talent freely, and choose your office location without limitations.
At Al Duha, we take the complexity out of company formation. Our dedicated consultants, legal advisors, and PRO specialists handle everything from A to Z so you can focus on launching and growing your business with confidence.
Starting a mainland company in the UAE opens the door to unlimited business opportunities across local and international markets. Licensed directly under the Department of Economic Development (DED), a mainland business setup offers full operational flexibility across the Emirates.
One of the most attractive updates in UAE regulations is the allowance of 100% foreign ownership in most business sectors—eliminating the need for a local sponsor and giving investors greater control. Mainland licenses also allow you to choose your office location freely, expand without geographical restrictions, and recruit talent without limitations.
At Al Duha, our process starts with a deep understanding of your business objectives, industry, and target market. We begin with a consultation to assess your needs and identify the most suitable license type and legal structure for your mainland setup.
From there, we develop a clear, step-by-step action plan covering everything from trade name registration and activity selection to office space and compliance requirements. Our experts handle all government interactions, documentation, and approvals to ensure a smooth and fast setup.
We continuously track progress at every stage, keeping you informed while resolving any legal or procedural complexities on your behalf. Once your business is officially licensed and operational, we continue to support you with PRO services, visa processing, and strategic guidance for future expansion.
With Al Duha, you don’t just launch a business you start strong, scale confidently, and grow without limits.
