Do I need a local sponsor to set up a Dubai mainland company?
In many cases, no. Dubai allows 100% foreign ownership for over 1,000 commercial and industrial activities, but some activities remain restricted, so it depends on your exact activity.
How do I know which mainland activity I should choose?
Your activity must match what you actually do, and some activities require additional approvals from other government entities before the license can be issued.
What is Ejari, and why does it matter for a Dubai mainland license?
Ejari is Dubai’s official tenancy contract registration system, and for Dubai mainland setups, the tenancy agreement must be registered with Ejari. Ejari registration is also used in the workflow where tenancy contracts are submitted for DED/DET trade license issuance.
When do I need to register for VAT in the UAE?
VAT registration is mandatory when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 (or are expected to exceed it soon). Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500 in certain cases.
