FAQ
FAQ
01Why mainland over a free zone?
You can trade with clients anywhere in the UAE without intermediaries, there is no fixed visa cap and government contracts are easier. The trade-off is a higher setup cost and a mandatory office.
02Do I need a local partner?
Not for most commercial and professional activities. Some strategic activities still require one, and we check against the DET list.
03How many visas can I get?
The quota depends on office size. A common benchmark is one visa per 9 m², and immigration sets the final number.
04Can I convert a free zone company to mainland?
You can open a separate mainland company or branch. A direct license transfer is rarely done, so we find the most cost-effective route.
05What about taxes?
Corporate Tax at 9% on profit above AED 375,000 and VAT at 5%. Free zone reliefs do not apply, but neither do client restrictions.
