Learn moreMainland companies (Onshore) require a local partner or sponsor who must own at least 51% of the share capital; however, these companies can operate across the entire UAE and enter into government contracts. Free Zone companies allow 100% foreign ownership and are exempt from most taxes for 15–50 years, but their business activities are geographically restricted and they cannot directly trade with the local market without additional permits.
The minimum share capital for mainland companies is AED 300,000 (about USD 82,000) for most business activities, with 51% owned by the local partner. In Free Zones, requirements vary from AED 50,000 to AED 500,000 depending on the zone.
Standard registration in Free Zones takes 5–10 working days with properly prepared documents, while mainland company registration takes 10–15 days. However, the full cycle before starting operations can take 4–8 weeks, including obtaining a trade license, opening a corporate bank account, leasing office space, obtaining Emirates IDs for directors, and processing residency visas.
Physical presence is not required during document submission—most procedures can be handled by an authorized representative and courier service. However, personal presence is mandatory for opening corporate bank accounts, obtaining Emirates IDs, signing office lease agreements, and activating residency visas.
Trade licenses often do not include import rights—a separate permit from the Ministry of Economy is required. Additionally, certain product categories (such as medical goods, food, cosmetics) require extra certifications.
