Hi everyone,
I am researching business setup in mainland Dubai and would like to hear experiences from anyone who has gone through the process. I understand mainland company formation offers more flexibility for trading within the UAE, but I am unsure about licensing, costs, and required approvals.
Can anyone guide me on the step-by-step process, especially regarding choosing a business activity and dealing with local authorities? Also, how long does it usually take to get a mainland license approved in Dubai, and are there any hidden challenges beginners should be aware of?
