Mainland
All mainland (also termed as onshore) UAE legal entities are governed by the UAE Commercial Companies Law (CCL). The main advantage for foreign investors establishing a business in mainland UAE is that, unlike the Free Zones, there is no territorial restriction on business activities or also for opting of location for offices/premises. A mainland company therefore has the freedom to trade anywhere in the UAE or wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, including all the Free Zones.
One of the main characteristics of onshore companies is that they can only be formed in association with a UAE national, who must be either a company shareholder (holding 51% stake in the company) or shall act as a local service agent.
Why invest in the Mainland?
Fewer restrictions on the activities
Liberty to rent office anywhere in UAE except free zone designated areas
To establish a long-term presence in the UAE and easy reach out to the UAE market
No minimal capital requirements
Opportunity to Work along with government bodies of UAE
