Benefits of Mainland Business Setup
Mainland company registration is beneficial in many ways. They include no trade restrictions, 100% company ownership and flexibility in terms of location.
The UAE authorities do not place any restrictions on where you can locate your business on the Dubai mainland or what you can trade with other companies. Mainland companies are also allowed to open branches and provide services to government departments. When you want to add to the offerings of your mainland company, you just have to re-register with the DED for the new business activity. Apart from 100% company ownership, another important benefit for mainland companies is the eligibility to apply for government contracts, which are very lucrative. Finally, a Dubai mainland business can choose from more than 3,000 business activities.
