FAQs: Business Licensing in the UAE
What distinguishes a Free Zone license from a Mainland license in the UAE?
Many people misunderstand this: foreigners can own 100% of a Free Zone company, with no local sponsor required. Free Zone licences usually allow more flexibility — you can include several business activities under one licence. They also tend to cost less than Mainland licences. But if your plan involves operating throughout the UAE, taking on contracts with government, or having a physical presence outside a free zone, then a Mainland licence gives you more allowance and operational freedom.
Can a foreigner have full ownership of the business?
Yes — with a Free Zone licence, you can own 100% of your business. In many sectors under Mainland licensing too, recent regulations now allow full foreign ownership, depending on the nature of the business activity.
Is a local sponsor required for a Mainland licence?
In some cases still yes — certain activities mandate having a UAE national as a partner or agent. But many commercial operations no longer do due to updated laws. If your activity requires one, GetBIZ can help by providing the appropriate local service agent or sponsor support.
Which licence type is more suitable if I want to trade inside the UAE?
If your focus is selling within the UAE market or working directly with local customers, a Mainland licence is usually the better choice. A Free Zone licence is great for cross‑border business or international trade; but if you want to trade inside the UAE (outside of your free zone), you may need to work through a local distributor or agent unless you use additional permissions or dual licensing.
What are the tax advantages for Free Zone vs Mainland licences?
Both licence types may benefit from UAE’s low tax regime — for example, many Free Zones offer 0% corporate tax under certain conditions. Mainland companies also can qualify for tax incentives depending on the activity, size, and structure. GetBIZ provides tax advisory to help you choose the setup that maximizes benefits for your particular business.
Can I obtain a UAE residence visa through setting up a business?
Yes — whether you use a Free Zone or Mainland licence, you can typically apply for residence visas for yourself, your staff, and dependents, provided you meet the immigration and licensing requirements.
How long does it take to acquire a trade license in the UAE?
It varies based on licence type, chosen free zone or mainland authority, approvals needed, and how quickly documents are submitted. It might take anywhere from a few days up to a couple of weeks. If you need it faster, GetBIZ offers express licensing options to expedite the process.
Which licence option tends to be more cost‑efficient?
Usually, Free Zone setups are more affordable — many come with bundled packages covering license fees, visa services, and flexi workspace. Mainland licences may have higher or variable costs dependent on where the business is located, the required office space, and specific regulatory fees.
Do I need a physical office space for my company?
Yes, Free Zones often offer flexi-desk or shared office options, depending on your business needs. Mainland companies require a physical office.
How does GetBIZ assist with business licensing?
GetBIZ supports you through every stage — from selecting the license type that suits your goals (Free Zone or Mainland), preparing all required documents, handling applications, obtaining necessary approvals, to ensuring continued compliance. Our service aims to simplify the process, reduce delays, and make sure you’re fully legal and operational.
