When starting a business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you have to be familiar with the “Dubai Mainland“, “Free Zone“, and “offshore” jurisdictions.
There are pros and cons for all three jurisdictions as well as business opportunities for entrepreneurs with different priorities. The priorities can be subjected to the type of business entity, business activity performed by the company, your intended trading partners and your visa requirements.
Enjoy over 50 special economic zones set up with the objective of offering tax concessions and custom duty benefits to expatriate investors. No need for a local partner, 0% income tax, no customs duties levied on imports and exports, are a few of the many advantages Free Zones offer.
A Mainland license has the flexibility to execute business inside of the UAE and internationally, without any limitations. Enjoy freedom of choosing an office premise in any area within the UAE, wide range of Business activities and the ability to trade anywhere freely.
An offshore company, also known as an International Business Company, allows you to carry out Business internationally, without the need to have a physical setup in the UAE.
