There are many differences between a mainland company and other forms of business setup in Dubai. Firstly, Mainland companies are allowed to do business anywhere in the AbuDhabi and outside the AbuDhabi.
Previously foreign investors or entrepreneurs were not allowed to form a business in the AbuDhabi mainland with 100% ownership. It was mandatory to have a local sponsor with 51% of company shares allotted to them. This obligation has been revoked as per the new AbuDhabi company law. This allows foreign entrepreneurs to own 100% of their company shares in the AbuDhabi mainland.
Another major advantage differentiating mainland companies from others is the office space requirement and setup. Physical office space is required to obtain a mainland business setup license in Dubai. Mainland businesses have the advantage of setting up office spaces anywhere that suits them.
Mainland companies also do not have any restrictions when it comes to visa eligibility. The number of visas issued is directly proportional to the area of workspace/office space that the company has.
AbuDhabi mainland companies also have business aids, tax exemptions, and other benefits in compliance with the latest laws.
You must follow the following procedure for mainland company formation in Dubai.
The best thing you can do is to avail yourself services of our trusted mainland business setup consultants to reduce your burden and fast-forward the process.
