Mainland Company or Free Zone Company. Which is more suitable for you?

Firstly

We must understand that company structure in Dubai is quite different from most countries. The fundamental logic is designed for foreign businesses to set up a hub there and use it to do business globally. UAE gov't charges an annual fee as Trade License Fee to compensate the low tax rate it afforded to businesses.

Secondly

Determine your primary goal.

• Do you intend to sell your product/services to the people in UAE.
• Do you primarily want this Dubai company to bill your existing and new customers from overseas so they pay into your Dubai Bank Account.
• You wanted a secondary residence for stablity and security purposes (ie: your original citizenship is from a restricted country).

Then

Once you've determined your primary goal, it is then very easy to set up your Company in Dubai. There is no need for nominee or complicated set up as the gov't of UAE has already designed company structure for foreign businesses need.

Next

You need to decide the following. Would you like your Company to be based in Dubai or another emirates in UAE? We recommend Dubai because it will gives your company the necessary trust and prestige image.
