Office Space

Dubai has become one of the fastest cities in terms of business establishment and its growth for the last several years. DED i.e. the Department of Economic Development of Dubai has made the process of setting up a business in Dubai very easy and smooth. There are two types of businesses one can commence i.e. mainland or free zone business. When it comes to growth and freedom, mainland business overwhelms the free zone businesses.

Business Hub is one of the professional business consultancy having years of experience in providing outstanding support to let one start his/her own mainland business in UAE.

Dubai mainland is the prime geographical area specified by the department of economic development (DED) in Dubai UAE. The companies on the mainland are also known as the onshore companies which are allowed to perform business activities inside the local area and outside of the UAE without any restriction.

Types of Business License for Dubai Mainland Companies:
When it comes to mainland company setup, there are two types of company licenses where UAE national’s presence is a must in any of the two forms:

1 – Commercial Business License:
In the commercial license, 51% of shares are in the hand of UAE national and 49% will be owned by the ex-pat partner.

2 – Professional Business License:
In the professional license, 100% shares are held by the ex-pat partner only, and the UAE national acts as a local service agent.

Generally, it completely depends upon the office space. The more office space you have, the more visas you can get.
Note: This condition doesn’t apply to driver visa, sales staff, or PRO visas.

We at One Business Hub assist our valued clientele at the above-mentioned phases of mainland business setup in Dubai. Our team of expert business consultants is ready to listen to your essentials regarding your mainland business setup and bring it into existence with the complete support in every legal procedure required for the same.

1 – Unrestricted business activities with other mainland companies:
This is one of the most important benefits you can get in the mainland company setup in any emirate of UAE. Free-zone companies are completely bound to trade within that free zone or of the other emirates of the UAE.
In case, Free-zone companies want to trade with the mainland companies, they are required to have certain licenses. But the mainland companies are free to trade in any area of UAE or outside.

2 – Extensive business opportunity:
Mainland companies get a huge scope for business growth as compared to free zone companies. Free-zone companies are restricted to work within a certain area or field while the mainland is allowed to work with any area. So, they can get better opportunities for growth.

3 – Work with governmental bodies:
When it comes to working as a contractor for government projects, only the mainland companies are benefitted. Free-zone companies can only work with the private sectors. So, if someone is planning to get the projects from the UAE government, it’s better to go with the business setup in Dubai mainland only.

4 – Open Presence in the UAE Market:
The best advantage that mainland companies get is that they can be established in any area of Dubai UAE. Apart from that, they can be involved in the trading activities within or outside of the UAE without any restrictions.

5 – Financially viable:
Mainland business is one of the most viable options to set up a business in Dubai UAE. The reason behind it is that there is no requirement of minimum capital for the Dubai mainland business setup. So, it’s like a breathtaking incentive to mainland businesses.
