Mainland Company Setup in UAE

Start your professional business onshore with full support from experts

Thinking of starting a professional business onshore in the UAE?

Not sure which licence fits your activity?
Unsure about approvals, documentation, or ownership rules?
Want to operate freely across the UAE without compliance headaches?

N D Savla UAE helps you answer these questions clearly. We handle mainland company setup end to end, from structuring and licensing to regulatory approvals and government coordination, so your business is set up right from day one.

What Is a Mainland Company in the UAE?

Mainland registration offers flexibility, credibility, and operational freedom. It is the preferred choice for businesses that want full access to the UAE economy.

Key advantages include:

  • Freedom to operate across all Emirates
  • Eligibility to work with government and semi-government entities
  • Strong acceptance by banks and financial institutions
  • Long-term scalability for growing businesses

1-Business Activity & Licence Advisory

  • Not every activity fits every licence. We help you identify the correct professional, commercial, or industrial licence based on your actual operations to avoid future compliance issues.

2-Legal Structure & Ownership Guidance

  • We advise on the appropriate legal structure, including ownership rules, local service agent requirements (where applicable), and regulatory implications for foreign investors.

3-Trade Name Reservation

  • We handle trade name selection and approval, ensuring compliance with UAE naming guidelines and avoiding unnecessary rejections.

4-Documentation & Regulatory Approvals

From initial approvals to final licence issuance, we prepare and manage all documentation, including:

  • Initial approval applications

  • Legal agreements and incorporation documents

  • Government submissions and follow-ups

  • Coordination with relevant authorities

5-Office Address & Compliance Support

  • A mainland company requires a registered place of business. We assist with office address compliance and documentation required for licence issuance.

6-Visa & Post-Incorporation Support

  • Once your company is registered, we assist with next steps such as visa processing, labour registrations, and compliance readiness so operations can begin smoothly.
