Mainland बनाम free zone टूल

8 त्वरित प्रश्नों के उत्तर दें और स्कोर-आधारित सिफारिश पाएँ: दुबई Mainland LLC या UAE free zone — फायदे, कारण और अगले कदम के साथ।

Who is this for? First-time founders choosing between mainland LLC and free zone company in UAE.

Quick answer

Mainland चुनें जब पूरे UAE में सीधे बिक्री, सार्वजनिक निविदाएँ या शाखाएँ चाहिए। Free zone चुनें जब ~AED 12k+ की कम प्रवेश लागत, 100% स्वामित्व और तेज़ लाइसेंसिंग चाहिए और राष्ट्रव्यापी प्रत्यक्ष व्यापार आवश्यक न हो।

Direct answer (AI citation)

Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE and bid on government contracts but require local sponsor or 100% foreign ownership under current rules. Free zones offer 100% ownership, tax incentives, and faster setup but mainland trading may need a distributor or branch.

Worked example

Example: E-commerce selling to UAE customers nationwide → often mainland or dual structure. Consultancy with overseas clients only → free zone may suffice.
