Dubai Mainland Business Setup Process
Steps to start a business on the Mainland
Setting up a company in Dubai may seem daunting, but we’re here to guide you through the process step by step. Here is your checklist for Mainland Company Formation in Dubai.


Select Your Business Activity
The starting point for setting up a Mainland company in Dubai is identifying the commercial, professional, or industrial activity your business will undertake. Each type of activity may require specific approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities. B First Business Solutions will guide you in choosing the right activity and ensure you meet all regulatory requirements with ease.

Obtain Initial Approvals from DED
Once your business activity is selected, the next step is to secure initial approvals from the Department of Economic Development (DED). This includes getting consent for your proposed activity, office location, shareholding structure, and capital investment. B First Business Solutions will handle this process on your behalf to ensure a smooth and timely setup.

Secure External Approvals (If Needed)
Certain business activities require additional clearance from specific government bodies such as the Health Authority, Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, or Roads and Transport Authority. B First Business Solutions will help you identify whether these approvals are needed and manage the application process so you can move forward with business registration without any delays.

Reserve Your Trade Name
Choose a unique name for your business and submit it through the DED’s trade name reservation portal. The selected name must comply with DED’s naming guidelines and must not duplicate any existing registered business names in Dubai. B First Business Solutions will assist you in selecting a compliant, distinctive name and completing the reservation process smoothly.

5. Sign the Memorandum of Association (MOA)
Once the business details are finalized, the Memorandum of Association (MOA) must be prepared. This legal document outlines the company’s structure and operations. All partners and shareholders are required to sign the MOA as a formal agreement to proceed with the company formation. B First Business Solutions will prepare and manage this step to ensure accuracy and legal compliance.

Choose the Right Office Spacen
Secure a commercial space that aligns with the Department of Economic Development (DED)’s location and usage regulations. To start, you can opt for a cost-effective office that meets your current operational needs. B First Business Solutions will help you find and lease the ideal space that suits your business type and budget.

Mainland Trade License Issuance
The Department of Economic Development (DED) is responsible for issuing trade licenses to mainland businesses in Dubai. To obtain your license, you must submit all necessary documents, obtain approvals from relevant authorities, and pay the applicable licensing fee. B First Business Solutions will manage the entire process, ensuring all requirements are met efficiently and without complications.

Apply for Required Visas
After your trade license is approved, the next step is to apply for the appropriate visas for yourself, your business partners, and your employees. B First Business Solutions will guide you through the visa application process to ensure smooth and timely approvals for all involved parties.Why Choose B First Business Solutions for Mainland Company Formation in Dubai?
