The UAE Mainland refers to the business jurisdiction outside the Free Zones and is governed by the federal law of the UAE. Businesses on the Mainland can trade directly with the local market and have no limitations on the number of visas they can apply for.
Unlike Free Zones, Mainland companies can conduct business anywhere in the UAE or in the GCC without restrictions.
There are no foreign exchange controls, quotas, or trade barriers.
A wide range of business activities are permitted on the Mainland, with no mandatory requirement to partner with a UAE national for certain activities.
- LLC Formation: The most common form of Mainland business is the Limited Liability Company (LLC), which requires 51% UAE national ownership. However, recent changes allow for 100% foreign ownership in many sectors.
- Professional Firms: These can be 100% foreign-owned and offer professional services but may require a local service agent.
- Sole Proprietorships: Available for GCC nationals and certain other nationalities with bilateral agreements with the UAE.
