Dubai and the wider UAE offer a thriving environment for entrepreneurs, but understanding the right business setup is crucial for success. One of the most popular options for businesses looking to operate across the UAE is a Mainland Company License. At BFG Advisory, we guide business owners through every step of obtaining a mainland license, making the process seamless and stress-free.
What is a Mainland Company License in the UAE?
A mainland company license allows businesses to operate directly within the UAE market without restrictions. It enables you to:
Conduct business with local and international clients
Trade freely across all Emirates
Participate in government contracts and tenders
Open a corporate bank account in the UAE
This type of license is suitable for a wide range of business activities, from commercial and industrial ventures to professional services.
Benefits of a Mainland License
Choosing a Mainland Company License comes with several advantages:
100% operational freedom: Unlike free zone companies, mainland businesses can operate across the UAE without limitations.
Flexibility in business activities: You can conduct multiple business activities under one license with relative ease.
Local market access: Establishing a mainland company provides the ability to work directly with UAE clients and partners.
Strategic growth opportunities: Mainland companies can expand their operations and recruit employees from anywhere in the UAE.
The Process of Obtaining a Mainland Company License
While setting up a mainland company might seem complex, BFG Advisory simplifies the journey. The process generally involves:
Selecting the right business activity – The UAE requires your business activity to align with your license type.
Choosing a trade name – Your company name must comply with UAE naming regulations.
Preparing legal documents – This includes submitting shareholder details, copyright copies, and lease agreements.
Government approvals – Obtaining initial approval from the Department of Economic Development (DED).
Final license issuance – After approvals and payments, your mainland company license is issued, enabling you to start operations.
