Business setup in Mainland offers huge opportunities for Entrepreneurs. A Mainland License, also referred to as an Onshore License, gives people the opportunity to run their business inside and outside UAE without any limitations. The Department of Economic Development (DED) is the Regulatory Authority for issuing Mainland Licenses in the UAE. According to new regulation, a Local Sponsor is no longer needed to get a Mainland License. Instead, Foreign Investors can now start a Mainland Business with 100% ownership. According to Dubai Economy, there are more than 1,000 Commercial and Industrial activities included in the list of 100% Foreign Ownership.

An Initial Approval Certificate that records the type of business, activities and partners is granted by DED. It indicates that the Government has no objection in issuing a License as per the submitted Proposal.
Businesses must have a Physical Location or Address. We help in finding the appropriate Company Office Space and drafting the Tenancy Agreement with the Landlord and have it registered by an “Ejari”.
