Introduction to Mainland Company Formation
Mainland Company Setup 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, meaning no local sponsor is required for your Mainland Company Setup.
Dubai mainland licenses are issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED). With a DED license as part of your Mainland Company Setup, 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 every stage of your Mainland Company Setup, from approvals and documentation to license issuance and visa processing, so you can start your operations quickly and confidently.

What’s Included in Aspira’s Mainland Company Setup Package
In most sectors, the UAE government now allows 100% foreign ownership as part of your Mainland Company Setup, especially for professional and commercial licenses.
However, some strategic or regulated sectors may still require a UAE national as a service agent or local partner. As part of your Mainland Company Setup consultation, we’ll guide you through this clearly, and only recommend sponsor-based setups when legally required, comparing your options against alternatives like Free Zone Company Setup where full foreign ownership applies universally.
Business types allowed in Mainland:
LLC (Limited Liability Company)
Sole Establishment
Civil Company
Branch of a Foreign Company
Representative Office
Aspira ensures your Mainland Company Setup includes the right legal structure, giving you full control and the right protection for your operations, whether you’re forming a sole establishment, LLC, or branch office.

DED approved flexi desk for small businesses or startups
Shared or co-working office space
