ASPIRA BUSINESS SETUP
Introduction to Mainland Company Formation
Setting up a mainland company in Dubai gives you direct access to the UAE market. You can trade anywhere in the country, work with government entities, and enjoy full business freedom. Thanks to recent updates in UAE company law, most activities now allow 100% foreign ownership—no local sponsor required.
Dubai mainland licenses are issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED). With a DED license, you can open a physical office, hire employees, and apply for multiple visas. Whether you’re starting a new business or expanding from abroad, this setup gives you flexibility and credibility across the UAE.
At Aspira, we handle everything—from approvals and documentation to license issuance and visa processing—so you can start your operations quickly and confidently.

In most sectors, the UAE government now allows 100% foreign ownership, especially for professional and commercial licenses.
