When you choose to set up your business in Dubai or UAE, a free zone company will provide you with 100% ownership. Free zone business setup is generally the most cost-effective option for your business launch in the UAE.

Furthermore, you can sponsor up to 15 employees through your UAE free zone company.

Certain business activities will require you to choose a mainland license. Any business activity that requires you to take a physical space (either a shop or a dedicated office) can only be legally operated with a mainland jurisdiction.
