Differences Between Free Zone, Mainland, and Offshore Companies in UAE

UAE Free Zone Company

Free Trade Zones are special areas with unique tax, customs, and import regulations. The UAE boasts over 45 Free Zones spread across all seven Emirates. Free Zone companies in the UAE offer 100% foreign ownership, residency visas, and full repatriation of profits and capital. With zero income and corporate tax, they are ideal for international tax planning and global business operations. Rissos Consulting partners with top Free Zones like DMCC, JAFZA, and Dubai Silicon Oasis to provide seamless company formation, licensing, and visa services. We ensure a smooth setup process and ongoing compliance, helping your business thrive in the UAE.

UAE Mainland Company

A mainland company (onshore company) in the UAE is a legal entity licensed by the Department of Economic Development (DED), allowing you to operate across the UAE and internationally. As of 2021, many business activities now permit 100% foreign ownership, offering greater flexibility and control to investors.

  • Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Professional Firm / Civil Company
  • Branch of a Foreign Company
  • Representative Office

Rissos Consulting provides end-to-end support for mainland business setup in Dubai, including trade license applications, legal structuring, and government liaison, ensuring a fast and compliant setup process.

UAE Offshore Company

UAE offshore companies, such as those in RAKICC and JAFZA, are ideal for businesses that don’t require a physical presence. These jurisdictions offer strong advantages in asset protection, wealth management, and international tax planning.

  • International trading companies operating outside the UAE
  • Advisory and consultancy firms serving clients globally (excluding UAE)

At Rissos Consulting, we guide you through every step of the offshore company setup, ensuring compliance, confidentiality, and strategic benefits. Offshore company formation in the UAE is attractive to global entrepreneurs due to its tax-free status.
