About Mainland Company Formation
Set up a mainland company to trade anywhere in the UAE, with up to 100% foreign ownership for most activities.
A mainland company is licensed by the economic department of an emirate, such as Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism. It can trade directly with customers anywhere in the UAE, work with government entities and open branches across emirates.
Since 2021, most commercial and industrial activities allow 100% foreign ownership on the mainland. Optimus BizFin helps you choose the right emirate, legal form and activities, then manages trade name, approvals, office and licence issuance.
