The companies having commercial license and trading of physical goods cannot do business within local limited of UAE and if they wish to do than they have to pay 5 % duty on local market invoices.


Major comparisons between Mainland & Freezone Businesses are follows:

Restrictions are only applied to the Commercial Licenses only not the Professional Licenses.

  5. This is a very informative blog post on the key differences between mainland and free zone companies in Dubai. I especially appreciate the table that summarizes the key points, making it easy to compare the two types of companies side-by-side.

    I would like to add that the choice of whether to set up a mainland or free zone company in Dubai depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the business, the target market, and the budget.

    For example, businesses that need to trade with local companies or sell goods and services to the UAE government are better off setting up a mainland company. Free zone companies, on the other hand, are a good option for businesses that want to operate in a tax-free environment or that need to have 100% foreign ownership.

    I would also recommend that businesses consult with a qualified professional to get advice on the best type of company to set up in Dubai, based on their specific needs and circumstances.

    Overall, this is a very well-written and informative blog post. Thank you for sharing your insights!
