What is Mainland?

Mainland Dubai is the area under the UAE government’s jurisdiction, allowing businesses to operate and trade freely across the UAE without restrictions.

Types of Mainland Company Structures

Limited Liability Company

An LLC is the most common business structure in the UAE, allowing up to 50 shareholders. It offers limited liability protection based on each shareholder’s investment and provides full access to operate in the local market.

Sole Establishment

This structure is ideal for solo entrepreneurs, offering full ownership and control. However, the owner is personally responsible for all financial liabilities and obligations of the business.

Civil Company

A Civil Company is a partnership model tailored for professionals such as consultants, doctors, and lawyers. Partners share both profits and liabilities, and each is personally accountable for the business's debts.

Branch of a Foreign Company

This setup enables international companies to operate in the UAE through a local branch. It functions under the parent company’s name and typically requires a local service agent to comply with UAE regulations.
