Where to set up a business in Dubai?
Mainland vs. Free Zone
To register a company in Dubai, you must first decide whether you want to establish your business on the mainland or in a free zone. When considering new business setup in Dubai, location is an important consideration. Low-Cost Business Setup in Dubai is possible in one of Dubai’s many specialised free zones or on the mainland (sometimes referred to as onshore).
Dubai established the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA) in 1985 as the first free zone in the UAE and the Middle East. It only began with 19 companies, but within a decade it had become the world’s first ISO-certified free zone. The JAFZA success story served as a model for several other free zones, each with its own set of strategic benefits and advantages.
Thousands of foreign individuals and institutions have successfully established branches or wholly owned companies in these free zones.
The UAE Commercial Companies Law was amended in 2021, allowing a foreigner, group of foreigners, or foreign company to have 100 percent fully owned businesses in the UAE, subject to certain conditions. The Dubai Government also announced that more than 1,000 commercial and industrial activities in the emirate would be 100 percent foreign owned.
As a result of these changes, some long-established businesses on the mainland are changing their ownership structure, while many others are establishing new businesses in Dubai.
Global Law is the best Business set up consultants in Dubai who can guide you setup your business in both the areas.
