UAE Company Formation

UAE, the future of global development and the destination of dreams that the whole world is looking at, embraces the future through its technological advancement, business-friendly tax programs, investment policies and many other features, making it a global hub for emerging tycoons. UAE is one of the best destinations in the world where you can set up your business-friendly company safely. The Department of Economic & Tourism (DET) is the authority in UAE that issues licenses for businesses in the mainland.

Smart Business Solutions highlights the key advantages of starting a mainland business:

100% Foreign Ownership Options

Earlier, it was formidable for foreign businesses to establish their business in UAE due to some existing ownership rule, which mandated that at least one local sponsor or partner need to be included as the owner. Even though there was no such obligation for profit sharing, finding a local sponsor was a hard nut to crack. In 2018, as a part of future innovation and development, a historic change was declared by the UAE ruler, and an amendment was made, wherein foreign investors can have 100% ownership and control over their businesses in certain emirates in UAE.

Trade Licenses for Various Business Activities

A business is presumed to be legal only if it adheres to the legal requirements of that location in which it is been established. In UAE, for forming a company, a trade is mandatory, and this is to be obtained from DET. Department of Industrial Development (DET) is the government body responsible for issuing trade licenses in UAE.
This is the legal document that permits businesses to operate legally within the country. A wide range of licensing options are available, including professional, trading, commercial, Industrial, e-commerce, Tourism, etc. Businesses can engage in diverse industries and grow their operations consistently.

Strategic Office Locations for Maximum Growth
