Business Setup in Mainland
Trade across the entire UAE, work with government, and open multiple branches — with a mainland licence built around your activity.
What this service covers
A mainland (DED) licence lets you trade anywhere in the UAE, deal directly with the local market, open multiple branches and bid for government contracts — without being tied to a single free zone. Recent reforms now allow 100% foreign ownership across most commercial and professional activities.
We manage activity selection and legal structure, trade name, initial approvals, MOA, office or Ejari, and your trade licence — along with visa quotas and PRO services — so your mainland company is set up correctly the first time and ready to operate.

- DED trade licence
- Activity & legal structure
- 100% ownership (eligible activities)
