Choose the Right Company Structure for Your UAE Business
A Mainland company is licensed by the UAE government and allows you to do business anywhere in the UAE, including working with local clients and government contracts. It offers flexibility, full business scope, and the ability to hire employees without restrictions, making it ideal for companies targeting the domestic market.
Free Zone companies are established within designated economic zones and offer 100% foreign ownership, full repatriation of profits, and tax exemptions. These setups are perfect for businesses focused on export, international trade, or specialized sectors, though they are generally limited to operating within the Free Zone or internationally unless a local distributor is appointed.
Offshore companies are primarily used for international business, asset protection, and investment purposes. They do not require a physical office in the UAE and offer high confidentiality and tax efficiency, making them ideal for holding companies, intellectual property management, and cross-border trade.
