About Department of Economic Development Dubai
Abu Dhabi Mainland Company Formation offers an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to establish a presence in the UAE’s capital. Abu Dhabi, with its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and diverse economic sectors, is an attractive destination for both local and international entrepreneurs. The process of forming a mainland company in Abu Dhabi involves registering with the Department of Economic Development (DED) and obtaining the necessary trade licenses, such as Commercial, Professional, or Industrial Licenses. Unlike free zone companies, mainland companies in Abu Dhabi have the flexibility to operate anywhere in the UAE and can access government contracts. While 100% foreign ownership is allowed for certain activities under the ‘positive list’, a local sponsor is required to own 51% of shares in an LLC for other activities. The capital requirements are generally flexible, and businesses can benefit from Abu Dhabi’s tax-free environment, along with a wide range of business opportunities across industries like construction, trading, tourism, and more. At Hala Business, we specialize in providing hassle-free company formation services, guiding you through every step of setting up a mainland company in Abu Dhabi.
