Understanding UAE Jurisdictions

1. Mainland Companies: Mainland companies are registered under the UAE's Department of Economic Development (DED). These companies can operate anywhere in the UAE and engage in a wide range of business activities. A local sponsor holding 51% of the shares is required, but certain professional licenses allow 100% foreign ownership.

2. Free Zone Companies: The UAE has over 45 free zones, each offering unique benefits. Free zone companies enjoy 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and full repatriation of profits. These zones are ideal for businesses focusing on international trade, e-commerce, and professional services.

3. Offshore Companies: Offshore entities are designed for businesses that conduct operations outside the UAE. These companies offer confidentiality, asset protection, and tax exemptions. They are suitable for holding companies, asset management, and international trade.
