UAE BUSINESS JURISDICTIONS

Mainland

A UAE Mainland license is suitable for businesses wishing to operate in and expand across the UAE, enabling direct trade with customers, other mainland businesses, and the provision of essential government services. Unlike the other two types of companies, a mainland company has the advantage of receiving authorization to trade both on the UAE local market and outside the UAE.

Free Zone

A Free Zone company is formed within a special economic area in an Emirate where goods and services can be traded. Whether you’re starting up, require a physical office, or need access to major markets across the globe, the UAE currently offers more than 40 free zones that cater to each business requirement. Businesses operating within free zones enjoy 100% foreign ownership and tax concessions.

Offshore

If you intend to operate outside of your registered jurisdiction, an Offshore UAE license may be the most suitable option for you. This type of license offers time-efficient and cost-effective solutions to businesses moving offshore for the purposes of tax optimization and to enjoy more suitable regulations.

The United Arab Emirates is a cultural melting pot that brings together people from all over the world, each with their own unique story and a diverse set of skills that make this country the place to be. If you’ve got the next big idea or you’re looking to scale your business to new heights, register your company in the UAE and secure your future in the business capital of the world.
