We assist clients by providing information and guidance on selecting the most suitable business structure based on regulatory requirements, ownership options, and operational objectives.
Free Zone
A Dubai free zone business is a company established within one of Dubai’s designated free zones and licensed by the relevant free zone authority. Free zone companies operate in accordance with the regulations of their specific authority and approved activities.
Mainland
A Dubai mainland business is licensed by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and permitted to operate within Dubai and across the United Arab Emirates, subject to approved commercial activities and regulatory conditions.
