About Jurisdiction
Name and Description
  • Title: Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism
  • Description:

    Mainland in the UAE refers to the main land territory of the country, encompassing all seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. All business activities in this territory are governed by federal and local laws, ensuring transparent and stable conditions for conducting business. A company registered on the Mainland in any of the emirates gains local company status, enabling it to operate both within the UAE and internationally, collaborate with local and foreign partners, and participate in government tenders and projects.

    In Dubai, Mainland companies are registered through the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which oversees the registration and licensing processes. With Dubai's advanced infrastructure and advantageous geographic location, the Mainland becomes an ideal platform for companies aiming to grow and strengthen their positions in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia markets.

    DET issues the following types of business licenses:

    • Commercial (wholesale and retail trade)
    • Professional (provision of services)
    • Industrial (manufacturing)

    The combination of transparent legal regulations, a strategically advantageous location, and advanced infrastructure makes the Mainland an ideal environment for businesses striving for long-term success and a strong market presence. These advantages allow companies to collaborate effectively with partners, expand their client base, and leverage access to key economic centers in the region, fostering sustainable growth and enhancing competitiveness on the international stage.

  • Strategic location. Dubai Mainland encompasses the entire mainland territory of the emirate of Dubai, providing companies with direct access to the region's key business and transportation hubs. Proximity to international airports, seaports, and major business centers ensures efficient logistics and high mobility, making Mainland an attractive choice for companies focused on local growth and global expansion.
  • Full profit control. DET enables foreign entrepreneurs to retain 100% ownership of their company, granting full control over profits and unrestricted capital repatriation outside the UAE. This fosters an optimal environment for strategic financial planning and efficient business management, free from limitations on economic activities. For certain activities, a local Emirati partner or a Local Service Agent (LSA) may be required.
  • Wide range of business activities. DET offers an extensive list of business activities, enabling entrepreneurs to develop projects in various industries, including trade, logistics, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and more.
