A mainland company license gives you access to thousands of business activities. Activities can at times even be bundled if your business idea crosses into two defined licenses. With certain activities, special approval is required from the relevant government department and Huco Digital will guide you here from commencement to completion.

In addition to the extensive range of business activities that a mainland company license offers, there are often opportunities to bundle activities if your business idea spans across two or more defined licenses. This can save you time and resources, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

To establish their mainland company as a legal entity in the UAE, entrepreneurs and businesses are required to obtain a trade license – a requirement that applies to both Mainland Dubai and free zone jurisdictions. Securing a trade license assures your customers that your business operates in compliance with local laws and regulations, and is essential to launching your operations.

While registering your business in the mainland involves multiple steps, obtaining a trade license is perhaps the most crucial aspect of setting up your company for long-term success. The type of trade license you need to acquire, and the corresponding requirements, will depend on your company structure, intended business activities, and operating jurisdiction.

To help you navigate the trade license application process, we’ve outlined the three main types of trade licenses you should consider as you launch your business on Dubai’s mainland.

For many first-time entrepreneurs in this region, a common question is whether they need a local sponsor or nominee shareholder in Dubai. The answer to this question varies depending on various factors, such as your nationality and the type of business you plan to set up.

If you’re a non-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) national and want to establish a business with a commercial or industrial license on the UAE mainland, then you’ll need a local sponsor as a business partner. However, if you’re setting up in a free zone or your business activity falls under a professional services license, you won’t require a local sponsor.

If your business does require a local sponsor, you can seek assistance from Huco Digital. To establish a mainland Limited Liability Company (LLC), you’ll need to own 49% of the company, with the remaining 51% owned by the local sponsor. It’s important to note, however, that profits are not divided along the same lines, and your local partner will have minimal involvement in the day-to-day operations of your company.

Finding a local sponsor in Dubai can be challenging for startups and new entrepreneurs.
