Mainland vs free zone: what’s the difference?

Most businesses in Dubai choose to either base themselves on the mainland or in a free zone. So, what is the difference between these two options?

Dubai Mainland Business

A mainland company in Dubai is essentially an onshore company that has received its license from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). All Dubai mainland businesses are allowed to trade anywhere in the United Arab Emirates as well as internationally, and they face no restrictions on their trade. You must also pay a 5% customs duty on imported goods.

Dubai Free Zone Businesses

In Dubai, there are several well-respected free zones which are designated areas where businesses can avail themselves of specific advantages. These include 0% customs duty, and 100% foreign ownership, without the requirement to find a local partner. Free zone businesses are allowed to trade with other companies in their free zone and internationally, but they are not permitted to trade directly with customers in Dubai and the UAE mainland.

Can free zone companies do business in the mainland?

Yes, some select free zone companies can do business in Dubai mainland, but they will require necessary approvals from the free zone. For instance, after getting a Meydan Free Zone license, companies can obtain a no objection certificate (NOC) for certain business activities that allow them to open an office anywhere in Dubai mainland. That being said, many free zones do not permit direct business in mainland Dubai. They are only permitted to trade internationally or with other companies based in the same free zone. Non-compliance can lead to fines of as much as AED 100,000.

However, there are some ways that free zone companies can trade with the mainland if they decide they would like to. These include:

  • Find a mainland logistics partner who can move goods within the UAE for you.
  • Free zone-based e-commerce companies can use a courier or delivery partner for delivering goods in the UAE.
  • You can also set up a branch of your business on the mainland, through which you can trade with companies in Dubai (it must have the same name and activities as your free zone company).

If you are based in a free zone and would like to trade with the mainland you will need to approach the Dubai DET, submit your application form, and pay fees.

If you have any questions and need clarification, let us know your convenient timing, so that we can schedule a Free Consultation for you, looking forward to assisting you.
