Dubai Mainland License
A Mainland Trade License is issued by the UAE’s Department of Economic Development (DED), allowing businesses to operate locally and internationally . Key benefits include 100% ownership (in most sectors), access to UAE government contracts, flexible business locations, and zero trade barriers, making it ideal for companies targeting both the UAE and global markets.
UAE Free Zone License
A Free Zone License enables foreign investors to establish a business in tax-free zones with 100% foreign ownership, full profit repatriation, and zero import/export taxes. Free zones offer fast setup, global connectivity, and a wide range of business activities, making them perfect for international trade and startups.
UAE Offshore License
An Offshore License allows businesses to operate outside the UAE with tax exemptions, asset protection, and high confidentiality. While it doesn’t permit local trading, it provides a stable legal framework, global banking access, and minimal compliance requirements, making it ideal for holding companies and international investors.

Once you have chosen your company’s name and legal structure, you’ll need to define the business activities you plan to undertake. Make sure to list out all activities on the license, and keep in mind that each license allows a maximum of ten activities.
