Steps to Set Up a New Business in the UAE Mainland
With over a decade of experience in establishing businesses of all sizes across the mainland, we bring deep expertise and specialised knowledge in every aspect of Dubai mainland company formation.
Our dedicated team of lawyers, chartered accountants, and consultants work diligently to ensure each step of the process is executed flawlessly, paving the way for your business success.
1. Select business activity
Our specialists, who are experts when it comes to Dubai mainland company setup, will advise you on the business activity that meets your requirements. They will guide you towards the jurisdiction which best suits your chosen activities, and present cost-effective options that match your budget. Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) offers a comprehensive list of permitted activities to choose from.
2. Finalise company structure
The most common legal structure that mainland companies chose is an LLC (Limited Liability Company) as it protects the owner’s personal assets from business liability. Other options include:
- Sole proprietorship
- Civil Company
- Limited liability company (LLC)
- Private limited company (PLC)
- Public joint stock company (PJSC)
- Branches, regional headquarters and representative offices of foreign companies
- Single family offices
3. Register trade name for your Dubai mainland business
The trade name of your new mainland business must reflect your chosen activity, and it must get approved by the authorities before formal usage. Approval is subject to the trade name not already being in use by someone else, or it being previously registered. Further, the trade name must not offend public morals or the public order of the UAE.
You can check the availability of trade names on the websites of the Department of Economic Development (DED) in every emirate except Fujairah, where it is listed on Fujairah Municipality’s Rukhsati app. Licenced trade names can also be found on the UAE Ministry of Economy Unified Commercial Registration System, and the National Economic Register.
Alternatively, you can shortlist trade names that reflect the nature of your business, and our team will check its availability and secure its registration. When approved, the trade name will be followed by the acronym of your legal structure.
4. Get required approvals and your mainland license in Dubai
We will assign you a company formation specialist who will do all the paperwork and complete all the processes to get you the Initial Approval. This early approval is a prerequisite for almost all ensuing steps towards setting up a business on the UAE mainland.
Then, based on your chosen business activity, there may be other government approvals and translations of the approvals. You will also have to submit your business plan that outlines your company’s objectives, target market, financial projections, and growth strategies.
Once you get initial approval, you can apply for a mainland license. You can apply for a commercial, industrial, or professional trade license by submitting the relevant documents and paying the fees. Our consultants can handle the entire application process.
5. Confirm workspace
- Virtual office
- Leased office
- Fully owned office
- Office building
- Workshop
- Warehouse
6. Comply with labour rules
If you do not wish to take up the process of procuring visas yourself, our experts will handle everything on your behalf: opening an official governmental file, processing your Establishment Card, applying for the required number of residence visas for members of staff and any dependents. This also includes the verification, translation and attestation of the necessary documents.
7. Open bank account
Opening a corporate bank account is an integral part of getting a Dubai mainland license as businesses are legally required to separate personal and professional funds. The UAE offers multiple choices, from international banks, well-established local banks and digital-only banks.
Each bank offers distinct advantages to entrepreneurs, start-ups, small businesses, or large foreign corporations. Our teams will lend you their expertise at making the right decision, and completing required documentation.
8. Seek professional support for Dubai mainland company formation
Dubai mainland company setup can be overwhelming. To start operations immediately without a network of alliances and partnerships in place. We provide end-to-end assistance for all our clients, making sure to streamline starting a business.
