MAINLAND BUSINESS SETUP
Mainland company formation in Dubai can be a very lucrative investment option for investors and business establishments. Mainland companies are business entities that are allowed to function and operate within the boundaries of Emirati jurisdiction that come under commercialized geographical regions. In Dubai, all business entities that come under commercial, professional, and sole establishment registered under the Dubai Economic Department (DED) are known as Dubai Mainland License. Primary, possessing a Dubai mainland license helps you enjoy maximum freedom and flexibility to grow and operate your business. There are certain regulations and policies amended by the government that administers the operation of mainland companies in UAE.
One of the most important governing laws associated with mainland business sets revolves around
the company equity share.
The implementation of reforms to the Commercial Companies Law with effect from June 2021 by the Government of UAE will transform the future of business. The UAE government has allowed for 100% foreign ownership for the businesses located on the mainland. Earlier, the expat business owners were only allowed to own a maximum of 49% ownership of their business while the remaining 51% share belonged to the Emirati sponsor. Now, the foreigners opening a company in Dubai will no longer need an Emirati shareholder or agent under changes to UAE company law.
