Alat Mainland vs free zone

Jawab 8 pertanyaan cepat dan dapatkan rekomendasi skor: LLC mainland di Dubai atau free zone di UEA — dengan kelebihan, alasan, dan langkah berikutnya.

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

Quick answer

Pilih mainland jika Anda perlu menjual langsung di seluruh wilayah UEA, mengikuti tender publik, atau membuka cabang. Pilih free zone untuk biaya masuk lebih rendah (~AED 12k+), kepemilikan 100%, dan perizinan lebih cepat ketika tidak membutuhkan perdagangan langsung nasional.

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.
