WHAT IS COMPANY FORMATION
The UAE presents three distinct options for company formation: mainland, free zone, and offshore companies. Selecting the right path hinges on various factors, such as your business’s nature, preferred location, and the permissible level of foreign ownership.
This decision is pivotal for entrepreneurs and foreign investors. But fret not! At BusinessLink, our seasoned consultants are here to guide you towards the ideal choice
Mainland
Mainland Business Opportunities in the UAE
The term 'Mainland' encompasses businesses operating in the heart of the UAE, and it brings a world of possibilities. Companies registered in the mainland enjoy the freedom to operate not only within the UAE but also beyond, forging partnerships with mainland, free zone entities, and international corporations. Mainland businesses have the flexibility to secure various types of licenses, including industrial, commercial, professional, and tourism licenses, without the burden of minimum capital requirements.
Dubai mainland, in particular, serves as an optimal choice for businesses seeking to thrive in both the UAE and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Free Zone
Free zones are dedicated areas where businesses thrive with the privilege of 100% foreign ownership, accompanied by a host of benefits including tax exemptions, unrestricted currency use, and the freedom to repatriate profits.
The UAE boasts over 50 free zones, each overseen by distinct authorities and offering various license types tailored to specific business activities.
Dubai's free zones, in particular, stand as prime choices for businesses with global trade ambitions.
Offshore
An offshore jurisdiction is a legal entity registered outside the UAE, yet granted the privilege to operate within its boundaries. To function effectively, the company must appoint a local agent or establish a registered office in the UAE. Offshore entities can engage in activities like asset holding, investment, and international trading. For those eyeing international markets, an offshore setup is the optimal selection. Moreover, offshore companies in the UAE ensure robust confidentiality measures with limited liability.
In Dubai, an offshore company becomes the preferred choice for businesses seeking to capitalize on a tax-free business environment and leverage offshore banking facilities
