What Is a Mainland Business Setup?

A Mainland company setup in the UAE provides businesses with the flexibility to operate both locally and internationally without restrictions. Unlike free zone companies, a Mainland business license allows companies to trade directly within the UAE market and take on government contracts.

At Consult Kumar, we specialize in helping businesses navigate the legal and procedural requirements of setting up a mainland company. With our expertise and strong government connections, we ensure a smooth, hassle-free UAE mainland business setup process.
