Free Zone vs Mainland Company Setup in Dubai
When establishing your business in Dubai, you’ll choose between two primary structures: a Free Zone company or a Mainland company.
Free Zones offer 100% foreign ownership, sector-specific benefits, simplified setup, and tax advantages. Each free zone operates under its own authority.
Mainland companies, regulated by Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED), allow you to trade directly within the UAE market, often requiring a local service agent or Emirati partner depending on the business activity.
Each model has its own advantages. At Mavericksvcs, we assess your goals, operations, and expansion plans to help you choose the right jurisdiction for long-term growth.
