The main difference between a Free zone and Mainland company is the ownership structure.  Free zone provides you with 100 % ownership while a Mainland Company, if it’s a Commercial or General Trading License, requires a local UAE citizen with 51% partnership.

In a Free zone company, you need to face all business matters with authorities directly, while in a mainland company, your local sponsor can handle all the government departments and other matters.

What about Visas, usually, a mainland visa is valid for two years while a Free zone visa is valid for three years. The Mainland visa process is handled by the UAE Labor Law and the Free zone visa process falls under the respective Free zone Laws.

Advantages of a Mainland Company

• Notwithstanding the presence of a 51% local citizen owner, profit of the business can still be owned 100% by the expat owner, if a side agreement is in place.
• UAE National Sponsor
