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.

Why Choose Mainland Business Setup?

Setting up a mainland company in the UAE comes with numerous advantages, including:
Freedom to Operate Anywhere
A mainland license allows your business to operate anywhere in the UAE, including free zones and internationally, without limitations.
100% Foreign Ownership
Thanks to recent reforms, many business activities in the UAE mainland now allow 100% foreign ownership, eliminating the need for a local sponsor.
Access to Government Contracts
Mainland businesses can bid for government contracts, which are not available to free zone companies.
No Currency Restrictions
Unlike free zones, mainland businesses face no restrictions on currency transactions.
Easier Business Expansion
With no geographic limitations, UAE mainland companies can expand effortlessly across the country and beyond.
