What is a Free Zone, Offshore, and Mainland License?
Answered on October 24,2023
The trade license you apply for will vary depending on whether you are starting a free zone business or a mainland business.
A mainland license is valid for businesses that are operating on the Dubai mainland. These require approval by various government entities and are issued by the DED.
Free zone trade licenses are issued by the authorities in a particular free zone. There are different limitations and benefits for each license.
If you plan to start an offshore company in Dubai, you will need an offshore incorporation certificate. These types of businesses are not allowed to operate within the UAE.
