Mainland 与自由区对比工具
回答8个快速问题，获得带评分的建议：迪拜 mainland LLC 还是阿联酋自由区——含优势、理由与下一步。
Who is this for? First-time founders choosing between mainland LLC and free zone company in UAE.
Quick answer
若需在阿联酋全境直接销售、参与公共招标或开设分支机构，选择 mainland。若不需要全国直接贸易、希望更低进入成本（约 AED 12k+）、100% 控股与更快办照，选择自由区。
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.

KPM consultant insight
Free zone is not always cheaper long-term if you sell to UAE mainland customers — we map your client geography before you license.
FTA explains the law — KPM helps you apply it to your business setup, banking, and cash flow.
