What is a mainland vs. free zone business setup in UAE?
The main difference between mainland and free zone business setups in the UAE lies in ownership and operational scope. A mainland company allows you to operate anywhere in the UAE and collaborate with local companies, while a free zone business limits your operations to the free zone and usually requires 100% foreign ownership. In my experience, if you plan to trade with the local UAE market, a mainland setup might be the way to go.
