## Mainland Business Setup

Mainland licenses are issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED) of each emirate and are the right route for businesses needing a physical office, retail store, or restaurant, and for trading directly across the UAE market and internationally without restriction. License categories: commercial, professional, industrial, and tourism. Available structures: LLC, sole establishment, civil company, and branch office.

## Free Zone Business Setup

Free zone companies do not require a physical office and can be formed entirely remotely — the client does not need to be in the UAE, and paperwork is handled without in-person PRO visits. Free zones suit e-commerce, trading, and general trading businesses, including those with warehousing requirements, and offer 100% foreign ownership.
