Mainland Company in Dubai
A licence to trade anywhere in the UAE and bid for government work, with the approvals and tenancy done in the right order.
Describe your project
Mainland fails on sequence, not on paperwork
What goes wrong when this is treated as a small job.
Approvals discovered late
Some activities need a regulator first, and finding that out after a tenancy is signed is expensive.
Premises that do not match
A tenancy that suits the budget and not the activity, which means moving or amending.
Hiring stalled
Visas waiting behind labour and immigration files that were never opened.
We work in the order the process actually allows: confirm the activity and any external approval, reserve the name, secure initial approval, arrange a tenancy that matches the activity, issue the licence, then open the labour and immigration files so hiring can start.
Each stage is confirmed to you as it clears, so you always know what is outstanding.
After the licence we register for corporate tax, prepare the bank file, and get the company trading with a domain, company email and a website that describes the licensed activity accurately.
Working in Dubai
A mainland licence is the right answer when you sell to customers across the UAE, bid for government or semi government work, or need premises in the city rather than inside a zone.
It is also the route with the most dependencies, so we run it as a sequence rather than as a bundle.
A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.
Send the brief. You get one fixed price with the scope and the timeline, at no charge and with no obligation.
01Nothing is produced before you have approved it, and the copy is written with your team rather than around them.
02We launch with tracking in place, train your staff, and register every account in your company name.

Describe your project →Questions founders ask us
When is mainland better than a free zone?
When you sell directly across the UAE, want government or semi government work, or need premises in the city. If you sell abroad or online, a free zone is usually lighter.
Do we need a local partner?
Ownership rules depend on the activity, and many now allow full foreign ownership. We confirm the position for your activity in writing before you commit.
Why does the tenancy matter?
The licence is issued against premises that suit the activity. Signing a tenancy before the activity is settled is the most common expensive mistake.
How soon can we hire?
Once the labour and immigration files are open, which follows the licence. We open them immediately rather than waiting to be asked.
Can you handle the renewals afterwards?
Yes. Licence, tenancy and visa dates are recorded at handover and we remind you before each one, whether or not you keep us on for anything else.
