BENEFITS
1. Freedom to trade within Dubai and UAE
A company registered with an onshore trade license allows you to trade freely and legally without limitations to trade within the UAE and the rest of the world.
With a mainland company, there is a legal requirement that a minimum of 51% of the shares must belong to a UAE/GCC National sponsor. This sponsor can be either an individual or a corporate entity that is 100% owned by UAE/GCC Nationals. One of the main concerns for investors is the worry of not having full control of their company. Our team at KIKLABB can provide you with advice and assistance to ensure that you retain the management and financial control of your business.
2. Ability to trade internationally and expand your global presence
A Dubai mainland company allows your business the freedom to trade internationally, which is essential for brands in our increasingly connected world.
It is vital for you to consider the future of your business, your plans for international expansion and your ability to penetrate key foreign markets.
Today’s rapidly changing world favours businesses with the flexibility to adapt. Imagine if there is a sudden demand for your product or service in another country? The flexibility of a mainland registered company enables you to take advantage of opportunities quickly.
Fundamentally, having a Dubai mainland licence gives you the freedom and flexibility to operate, grow and manage your business both within the UAE and internationally.
3. Freedom to grow your company and team
The ultimate goal for every business is to grow and succeed, a Dubai mainland registration gives you a real scope to be able to achieve this.
Opting for the mainland option means you can apply for unlimited visas. However, it is worth noting that visa quotas are directly correlated with office/warehouse space. Typically the requirement is 100 square feet per visa. This can usually become negotiable with the DED if you have employees who work remotely and do not require the use of workspace.
Creating a Dubai mainland company also gives you the freedom to expand your business’ branches to other parts of Dubai and across the UAE. If branch expansion is a key goal of your start up, you should consider a Dubai DED licence.
4. Ability to diversify your offerings
Dubai’s evolving smart city infrastructure is already taking businesses in new directions, and the power to diversify is likely to be increasingly useful as the country heads towards and beyond 2020.
Opting for a Dubai mainland setup provides significantly more scope for your business to evolve.
Fundamentally, having a Dubai mainland licence means that the administrative process is smoother, faster, and less restrictive compared to your Free Zone competitors.
5. Ability to deal with the UAE or GCC governments
Mainland registration in Dubai has another potentially attractive feature, it gives you the scope to tender bids for lucrative government contracts.
If your start up is likely to offer services that match the requirements of government projects, then you could place yourself in a very advantageous position. UAE government contract work is worth billions of dollars per year. If your company becomes well-regarded by Dubai’s authorities, then you could create a blueprint for long-term business networking and growth.
Winning official state contracts across the UAE will surely improve your business reputation and status, both in the country and internationally.
6. Ability to create a flexible start up
While establishing a Dubai mainland registered company may seem daunting, working with the right company formation specialists can give you a package that is fast and fully comprehensive. When selecting who to work with, consider whether the package includes these key benefits:
• Business setup and registration
