Dubai Mainland Company Formation

Set up your business in Dubai, the commercial capital of the UAE, with unrestricted market access and 100% foreign ownership.

Overview

Dubai Mainland offers the most dynamic business environment in the UAE, providing entrepreneurs with unrestricted access to the entire local market, government contracts, and international trade. As the commercial and tourism capital of the UAE, Dubai provides unmatched infrastructure, a cosmopolitan workforce, and a business-friendly regulatory framework under the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Dubai mainland companies can trade directly with consumers, businesses, and government entities across all seven emirates. With the amendment to the UAE Commercial Companies Law, 100% foreign ownership is now permitted for most business activities, eliminating the need for a local sponsor. Whether you're starting a trading company, consultancy firm, restaurant, or retail outlet, Dubai mainland offers the license type to match your business activity. Al Aegis handles the entire Dubai mainland company formation process including trade name reservation, DET initial approval, office space arrangements (Ejari), MOA drafting, license issuance, and visa processing. Our team ensures you're fully operational within 5-7 working days.
