Mainland companies can operate anywhere in the UAE and take on government contracts, while free zone companies enjoy tax advantages and easier setup but are limited to operating within or outside their zone unless a local distributor is appointed.
How does corporate structuring benefit my business in the UAE?
Corporate structuring maximizes legal compliance, enhances operational efficiency, and protects your assets.
Do I need to be physically present to register my company?

Company setup usually takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on jurisdiction and business type; we streamline the process and keep you updated.
Can foreigners own 100% of a Dubai company?
