Key definitions:
Mainland Company in Dubai is an onshore company licensed by Department of Economic Development (DED). Mainland company is not geographically limited to carry out its business operations. It can work in local markets as well as outside United Arab Emirates without any restrictions.
Free Zone Company is established in a separate business jurisdiction called as free zone in Dubai. It is a separate business entity with its own rules and regulations. It is allowed to conduct its business activities inside the free zone or outside UAE. This is the basic difference between mainland and free zone that free zone company cannot work in non-free zone without the assistance of a local distributor or an agent whereas a mainland company can work anywhere in UAE. There are various free zones in Dubai. The main reason that foreign investors go for free zone establishment is to get ownership benefits, utilize the world class infrastructure, protect their assets and enjoy tax exemptions.
