Формы компаний в ОАЭ
Mainland
It is suitable for working with government orders, B2B projects, and trade within the Emirates. You can rent an office, hire employees, and fully engage in local market activities. This format is preferred by companies that want to actively work with clients in the UAE and participate in tenders while maintaining direct access to government and private contracts.
Free Zone
100% foreign ownership and simplified registration make free zones a convenient solution for IT companies, online services, consulting, and exports. In many cases, there is no mandatory requirement to have a physical office. Free Zone provides access to international payments and banking products, reduces bureaucracy, and allows foreign entrepreneurs to quickly start their businesses while maintaining full control over their operations.
Offshore
This is an optimal solution for international settlements, holding structures, and asset protection. An offshore company is not intended for conducting business in the UAE domestic market, but it is perfect for optimizing corporate flows, working with foreign partners, and confidentially owning assets. This format is chosen by investors and holding structures that value flexibility and tax efficiency.

Common questions about starting a business in the UAE
Russian citizens can freely open companies in the UAE without facing any restrictions, as long as all the documents are properly prepared and legalized. The process is standard and transparent. At Aner Consulting, our experts will take on all the necessary obligations, including the preparation, submission, and support at every stage, to ensure a smooth and efficient licensing process.
Mainland is a company registered in the UAE mainland through the Department of Economic Development (DED). It allows you to conduct business throughout the country and beyond.
Free Zone (Free Economic Zone) is a company registered in one of the SEZs with preferential taxation, a quick launch procedure, but with a restriction: business can only be conducted within the zone or outside the UAE. 100% ownership is provided for foreign founders.
Offshore-a company for international operations, asset management and investment. The offshore company cannot conduct commercial activities in the UAE and does not provide for visa quotas.
For a mainland company, a physical office is required: you need to sign a lease agreement and register it (for example, through the Ejari system in Dubai), but practice shows that you can do without a virtual office. For a Free Zone, a virtual office, flexi-desk, or minimal workplace is often enough, but the specific requirements depend on the zone.
Yes, starting in 2021, most areas allow 100% foreign ownership both in the mainland and in the Free Zone. There may still be exceptions for a limited list of licenses and strategic industries, but most founders now don't need a partner from the Emirates.
