Free Zone vs. Mainland Company Setup in Dubai
When establishing a business in Dubai, you can choose between a free zone or a mainland company setup:
- Free Zones:
- Offer 100% foreign ownership.
- Provide tax benefits and are managed by independent free zone authorities.
- Ideal for businesses that don’t require direct trade within the UAE market.
- Mainland:
- Monitored by the Department of Economic Development (DED).
- Requires a local sponsor for foreign ownership (51% local ownership).
- Offers the flexibility to operate anywhere in the UAE and directly trade within the local market.
