Mainland Company Formation
A great choice for anyone looking to do business in the local markets and outside the geographical boundaries of the UAE without any restrictions.
Mainland Company Formation
Business Setup HQ has helped many sole proprietors and entities to setup their mainland company formation in Dubai. A mainland company formation results in running an onshore company licensed by the department of economic development (DED) of the United Arab Emirates. A mainland company is permitted to do business in both local markets and outside the geographical boundaries of the UAE without any restrictions.
There are mainly only three types of company formation in the United Arab Emirates: mainland company formation, free zone company formation (FZC), and offshore company formation. Quite a few entrepreneurs have opted to form a limited liability company (LLC) in Dubai for their business because it has many potential benefits and exceptionally fewer risks associated. A limited liability company (LLC) is a primary type of mainland company formation in the UAE.

How to setup a mainland company in Dubai?
The mainland companies in UAE are issued a license within each emirate as per the business activity. Federal Commercial Company Law No (8) of 1984 and its amendments by Federal Law No. 13 of 1988, 2011, and 2015 provide the necessary legal framework for incorporating a mainland company in the UAE.
Here are the few steps that you are required to follow in order to setup a mainland company in Dubai.
Selection of business activities
In order to facilitate you with the best business consultation, we start with understanding your expectations, goals, and requirements, and based on our discussions, we determine the business activities for the mainland company formation.
Selection of legal structure
As per the business activities and ownership structure you want to establish, we suggest the best legal structure for your business. Here are multiple legal structures to choose from, depending upon your business requirements.
1. Limited Liability Company (LLC)
2. Professional Firms
3. Branch office of a free zone company (FZC)
4. Branch office of foreign companies
All the primary types of mainland company formation have varied features catering to the different company objectives. Since we have worked with multiple clients, we exactly know how to fit your goals under at least one category.
Selection of the trade name
You must submit the official operational name of the company to the Department of Economic Development (DED). It is needed to provide at least three names in the order of preference. If other companies already use the first preferred name, you can take up the second select name and so on.
Approval from DED, Dubai
Along with the trade name, you have to provide details related to your primary and secondary business activities to the Department of Economic Development or DED. The initial approval from DED is to provide you with the assurance that you can effortlessly run a business in the UAE.
Selection of office location
In order to work efficiently and effortlessly, you must have an office setup of your own. In UAE, you must have a tenancy contract and business premises. Getting a tenancy contract is not a big deal; you can quickly get one by leasing a property according to your requirements at any location in the United Arab Emirates. We will help you select the best and cost-effective business premise depending upon your budget, type of business activities, and many other relevant factors. Our prime objective will be to find an office that can cater to all your needs without digging big holes in your pockets.
Preparation of AOA, MOA, and LSA agreement
Once you get the tenancy contract, it is now time to prepare an Articles of Association(AOA), Memorandum of Association (MOA), and a Local Sponsor Agreement (LSA).
For finding a trusted local sponsor, you can undoubtedly rely upon Business Setup HQ who has been working closely with the local market players of the UAE for the last three decades now. The need and importance of a local sponsor come into the picture when you are willing to setup a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the UAE.
Once done, we will submit both documents to the Department of Economic Development, Dubai, for initial approvals.
Additional approvals
There are a few specified business activities that require approval from various authorities. We help you in preparing particular documents for the approvals. In addition to that, we submit the required documents on your behalf and monitor the progress until approved.
Get the business license
After making the final submissions, you will be required to make the mainland company formation license payment. Once the payment has been made, you might receive the business license within a week, depending upon the number of business activities. Thus the process of company registration will be completed.
Registration with the chamber of commerce & industry
Although the primary steps of forming a mainland company in the UAE are completed, a small yet crucial task is still pending. First, you are required to register your business with the Chamber of Commerce And Industry, post which the government will issue a certificate of registration.
