4. Choosing Business Location
You must have heard
about many different locations and their benefits in the functioning of your
business. Selection of the correct location for your company can be critical to
your success. UAE’s free zones, various mainland and cluster options offer
distinct advantages based on your business type and activities.
For example, Dubai
Mainland offers the best business locations in the world, ranging from Sheikh
Zayed Road, Downtown Dubai, world’s tallest building, to the smaller shops, and
massive malls.
Now if you choose Doing
Business in UAE mainland, you will need to register with
the Dubai Department of Economic Development, who will issue you with a Dubai
business license.
Similarly the
specialist free zones may be a better fit for your business.
Dubai has more than
20 free zones, including Media City, Dubai International Financial Centre,
Dubai Airport Free zone and Jebel Ali Free zone, one of the largest ports in
the world and home to 6,400 companies.
Every free zone has
its own unique advantage and is controlled by its own licensing body that needs
to be contacted directly for the licensing process.
5. Deciding Ownership Rights
Ownership rights can
differ, depending on the type of business and business activities and the
location of your business.
For help on business
ownership rules for each of the various legal business forms see Ownership
Rules for Business Partners.
There seems a big
difference between Dubai mainland versus free zones when it comes to ownership
rights. However, business ownership and operational control are two separate
matters.
In reality UAE
nationals and their overseas partners can agree between themselves how profits
can be shared and how business decisions are ultimately made.
This means even if overseas business owners Business
set up in UAE mainland, they
will still have a full control of their business operations.
