Despite the owner’s initial view to the contrary, you can separate the goodwill in your business from yourself and place a saleable value on it.

What is a Mainland Business Arrangement?

What is a Mainland Business Setup in UAE? A Mainland Business Setup in UAE is a company that obtained a license from the concerned government authority to carry out business activities throughout the UAE and internationally. Mainland companies are not limited to specific economic zones like free zone companies and therefore are the preferred option for companies that want to serve local customers, open multiple branches or participate in government projects.

The UAE has introduced major business reforms allowing 100 per cent foreign ownership of most commercial and industrial activities. As a result, a significant number of investors now do not need to have a local sponsor to set up their mainland companies, which makes company formation in UAE more attractive than ever before.

A mainland company provides the flexibility to grow in accordance with your business goals if you are planning to start a consultancy, retail business, trading company, construction firm, manufacturing unit, healthcare business or professional service.
