Company Formation in Mainland & Freezones
Setting up a business in the UAE
Setting up a business in the UAE provides numerous possibilities for development and expansion, but the procedure can be complicated. KGH Consulting specializes in advising businesses with regulatory compliance, making company creation in the mainland UAE and free zone business establishment in Dubai simple and stress-free.
For enterprises wishing to trade directly within the UAE market, mainland company incorporation in the UAE is the best option. Mainland corporations allow for unlimited business operations throughout the country, making them an attractive alternative for enterprises wishing to bid on government contracts, deal with clients locally, or develop regionally.
Features of Mainland Company Formation:
- Full Market Access: Mainland businesses can conduct business anywhere in the UAE, including directly engaging with the local market.
- No trade restrictions: Mainland enterprises can trade both within and beyond the UAE.
- Government Contracts: Only mainland businesses can compete for lucrative UAE government contracts and projects.
- Visa Eligibility: Mainland enterprises may apply for an unlimited number of visas based on their office space.
- Local Sponsorship: While 51% local sponsorship was formerly required, new revisions allow for full foreign ownership in numerous areas.
Free Zone Business Setup
Free zone business establishing in Dubai is the greatest alternative for companies seeking 100% foreign ownership and tax breaks. The UAE has around 40 free zones, each dedicated to a certain industry, such as trading, logistics, services, and manufacturing.
At KGH Consulting, we offer bespoke solutions based on your business objectives, assisting you in determining whether mainland company creation or a free zone arrangement is the best option for your venture.

Key Features of the Free Zone Setup:
100% foreign ownership eliminates the requirement for a local sponsor or partner.
Tax Exemptions
Companies operating in free zones are immune from company and personal income taxes, as well as import and export taxes. Profits and money can be repatriated in full by free zone firms.
Industry-Specific Benefits
Each free zone provides distinct advantages based on its industry focus, such as the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) for commodities trading or the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) for logistics and manufacturing.
Simplified Business Setup
Free zones have their own regulatory bodies, which makes it easier to register a firm, license it, and obtain a visa.
