Mainland
In Dubai, the mainland or onshore area refers to regions outside the free zones, regulated by the Department of Economic Development (DED). Recent amendments to the UAE Commercial Companies Law now allow for 100% foreign ownership of businesses in the mainland, unless specific exemptions apply. Previously, expatriate business owners were restricted to a maximum of 49% ownership in mainland companies. This change facilitates greater investment opportunities and business control for foreign investors in Dubai’s dynamic market.
Benefits
Mainland business ownership in Dubai offers several advantages, including unrestricted access to the entire UAE market, the flexibility to operate in any location, and the ability to engage in a wide range of business activities. Companies can also bid for government contracts, benefit from no minimum capital requirements, and enjoy enhanced business credibility. Additionally, mainland businesses have greater flexibility in hiring employees, including non-resident workers, making it a strategic choice for expanding and establishing a strong market presence.
