Setting up a mainland company / Free zone company in the UAE requires a deep understanding of the legal and company formation process.  Working with UAE-based business setup consultants helps take the stress out of setting up a company for overseas entrepreneurs. A business consultant can collaborate with you and understand your business goals. This will help you feel confident in starting a successful business in the UAE.

Types Legal Business Structure

From a legal standpoint, there are several types of businesses that can be set up by foreign entrepreneurs on the UAE mainland. The most common mainland business structure is a Limited Liability Company (LLC).  An LLC is an independent legal entity owned by two or more shareholders. A business wishing to trade under a commercial or industrial license (including industrial and manufacturing activities) must form an LLC to set up a company in the UAE mainland. This would require a local sponsor.  By contrast, setting up a professional service company does not require a foreign sponsor and can be 100% foreign-owned. More on this next!
