Unlocking the Full Potential of the UAE Market

A mainland company is an onshore corporation registered with the emirate’s Department of Economic Development (DED). Recent amendments to UAE law now allow for 100% foreign ownership of mainland companies, eliminating the need for a local sponsor and providing unprecedented access to the local market.
