Mainland (DET) company formation
Establishment of mainland LLCs and professional licences regulated by the local department of economic development.
A mainland licence regulated by the local Department of Economy and Tourism allows on-shore activity, broader contract eligibility, and direct invoicing to UAE consumers without a local agent. For most activities, 100% foreign ownership applies.
Who it suits
- Operators selling goods or services directly to UAE consumers
- Bidders on UAE government and semi-government tenders
- Groups consolidating operations across several emirates
We map the activity to the right DET category, coordinate initial approval and any external clearances, prepare the MOA, secure compliant tenancy and Ejari, and oversee trade licence issuance and the company immigration file.
