Discover the benefits of a free zone in Dubai
What companies should you open in Dubai?
The offshore company
It may be suitable for certain import-export, consulting, or investment activities. It does not allow you to conduct a local business directly in the same way as a Mainland company.
Mainland company
It allows you to conduct business in the UAE and deal directly with individuals. For most activities, a foreigner can own 100% of the capital.
The freezone company
It is an attractive compromise for foreign entrepreneurs wishing to live and do business in Dubai while establishing themselves in a free zone.
How to choose the right structure?
Freezone
Based in a defined geographic area, it may be suitable for trading, consulting, or holding activities, depending on the license selected.
Mainland / LLC
A local company established outside a free zone allows you to conduct activities in the local market and serves different purposes from a free-zone entity.
The right choice
Freezone, Mainland, and offshore do not serve the same purposes. The structure should be chosen based on the activity, target customers, and project.
