Setting Up a Business in Dubai Mainland

Identify your business activity from 2,000+ DED-approved options, including trading, consultancy, hospitality, manufacturing, and more. With 19CHT, we ensure your selected activity aligns perfectly with Dubai Mainland regulations and future expansion plans.

Select a business location based on your operational needs and budget. Dubai Mainland companies enjoy complete location flexibility, enabling branch offices, premium commercial addresses, and access to high-footfall business zones across the UAE.

19CHT helps you choose the most suitable legal structure:

  • LLC (Limited Liability Company) for commercial activities

  • Professional License for service-based businesses with 100% foreign ownership
    We guide you to the structure that best supports compliance and growth.

For LLC setups, a UAE national or corporate sponsor is required as per regulations.
For professional licenses, a Local Service Agent is appointed with no ownership rights.
19CHT ensures secure, transparent, and legally compliant arrangements.

Choose a trade name that meets UAE naming standards—no abbreviations, offensive words, or religious references. 19CHT manages trade name reservation and approval to avoid delays or rejections.

We handle the complete Dubai DED license application process, including document preparation, approvals, MOA/LSA agreements, and coordination with authorities—ensuring a smooth and timely license issuance.

Select from serviced offices or shell & core office spaces based on your business model. Office size directly impacts visa eligibility, and 19CHT assists you in choosing the most cost-effective and compliant option.

Visa eligibility depends on office space and business activity. Mainland companies can apply for investor visas, employee visas, and dependent sponsorships, with residency validity of up to three years. 19CHT manages the entire visa process end-to-end.
