Overview
Need Mainland Company Formation? Mainland Company Formation is one of Horizon Line's core services, and our team manages every Mainland Company Formation file directly — no subcontracting, no guesswork. A mainland licence lets you trade directly inside the UAE local market and take on government contracts, issued by the Department of Economic Development across all seven Emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
Key Benefits
100% foreign ownership on most activities
Since the 2021 Commercial Companies Law reform, most commercial and industrial activities no longer require a local partner.
Unrestricted trading scope
You can contract with government entities and open branches in any Emirates, unlike a free zone licence.
Visa count tied to office size
We calculate the right office footprint upfront so your visa quota matches your actual hiring plan.
Access to unlimited visa allocations
Visa quota scales with your office footprint rather than a fixed free zone cap, useful for businesses planning to grow headcount.
