Establish your company in the UAE capital with expert support for licensing, approvals and the practical steps needed to launch and grow your business.
An Abu Dhabi Mainland company is a business registered in the capital city of the UAE under the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED). This license allows you to open a business and trade freely anywhere inside the city, across the UAE, and worldwide. Setting up on the mainland in the capital is the best choice for companies that want a strong, long-term presence in the UAE's political and industrial hub.
100% Complete Ownership: Foreign entrepreneurs can fully own their commercial and industrial businesses without needing a local partner to hold shares.
Direct Access to Huge Contracts: Abu Dhabi is home to the UAE's largest oil, gas, and government projects. A mainland license gives you direct access to bid for these high-paying government contracts.
No Limit on Visas: Mainland companies can easily apply for as many employee visas as their office space allows, making it easy to grow your team.
No Corporate or Personal Tax: You keep the profits your business makes, allowing your company to grow much faster.
