The United Arab Emirates is one of the most developed countries in the world and home to a thriving expat population. Every year, entrepreneurs from across the globe look towards new business propositions in the UAE due to several profitable factors. Some of the biggest benefits of business setup in UAE are:  

• Investor friendly government infrastructure 
• 100% foreign ownership of your company 
• Liberal tax policies; among lowest in the world 
• Effortless company formation process 
• Accelerated global connectivity to 17+ nations 

The need for an Emirati partner or sponsor strongly depends on the kind of business activity you are engaging in. All emirates like Dubai, Abu Shabi, Ajman & Sharjah offer 100% foreign ownership opportunities for over 1,000 activities. The Department of Economic Development has stated that activities like trading and manufacturing no longer require a local sponsor.  

However, it is important to note that there are certain activities in the DED list that still require an Emirati national as majority partner. 

For successful business setup in UAE, all entrepreneurs need to submit a basic list of documents. They are: 

• An application form that is filled properly 
• Passport copies of owner(s), shareholders and partners (if any) 
• Two passport sized photographs 
• Attested initial approval copy 
• Trade name registration certificate 

Apart from these certain requirements, business owners will need to submit additional documents depending on the special approvals required based on the nature of their business. 

The UAE Mainland business setup procedure is pretty straightforward. You just need to follow the mentioned steps: 

1. Trade name selection: At least 3 options that are compliant with UAE laws 
2. Choose location: Choose between mainland vs. free zone depending on your budget and business activities 
3. Decide legal structure: Set the tone for managing your company loss and profits with the correct legal form 
4. Submit documents: you will need to prepare all the necessary forms, documents and approvals to relevant authorities 
5. Get your trade license: Once all the approvals go through, the DED will then issue your trade license
